Webhook Receiving Server Implementation​

You need to implement an HTTP server to receive webhooks. The server must meet the following requirements:

Basic Requirements​

  1. HTTP POST Request Handling: Webhooks are sent via HTTP POST
  2. JSON Payload Parsing: Request body is in JSON format
  3. Return 200 Response Code: Must respond with 200 status code on successful processing

Implementation Example (Node.js/Express)​

const express = require('express');
const app = express();

app.use(express.json());

app.post('/webhook', (req, res) => {
  const { event, data } = req.body;
  const token = req.headers['x-webhook-token'];

  // Token verification
  if (token !== 'your-secret-token') {
    return res.status(401).json({ error: 'Unauthorized' });
  }

  // Event processing
  switch (event) {
    case 'FEEDBACK_CREATION':
      console.log('New feedback created:', data.feedback);
      // Feedback processing logic
      break;
    case 'ISSUE_CREATION':
      console.log('New issue created:', data.issue);
      // Issue processing logic
      break;
    case 'ISSUE_STATUS_CHANGE':
      console.log(
        'Issue status changed:',
        data.issue,
        'Previous status:',
        data.previousStatus,
      );
      // Status change processing logic
      break;
    case 'ISSUE_ADDITION':
      console.log('Issue added:', data.addedIssue);
      // Issue addition processing logic
      break;
  }

  res.status(200).json({ success: true });
});

app.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log('Webhook listener server running on port 3000.');
});

Security and Retry Policy​

Security Considerations​

  • Token Verification: Verify requests through x-webhook-token header
  • HTTPS Usage: Always use HTTPS in production environments

Retry Policy​

  • Automatic Retry: ABC User Feedback automatically retries up to 3 times on webhook transmission failure
  • Retry Interval: Each retry is executed after 3 seconds

Error Handling​

  • 4xx Errors: Considered client errors, not retried
  • 5xx Errors: Considered server errors, retried
  • Network Errors: Retried on connection failure

Usage Examples​

1. Automatic Translation​

// Receive FEEDBACK_CREATION event and automatically translate
if (event === 'FEEDBACK_CREATION') {
  const translatedMessage = await translateText(data.feedback.message);
  // Update feedback with translated content
  await updateFeedback(data.feedback.id, { translatedMessage });
}

2. External Ticket System Integration​

// Receive ISSUE_CREATION event and create ticket in external system
if (event === 'ISSUE_CREATION') {
  const ticketId = await createExternalTicket({
    title: data.issue.name,
    description: data.issue.description,
    priority: 'medium',
  });
  // Store external ticket ID in issue
  await updateIssue(data.issue.id, { externalIssueId: ticketId });
}

3. Notification System Integration​

// Receive ISSUE_STATUS_CHANGE event and notify team
if (event === 'ISSUE_STATUS_CHANGE') {
  await sendSlackNotification({
    channel: '#feedback-alerts',
    message: `Issue "${data.issue.name}" status changed from ${data.previousStatus} to ${data.issue.status}.`,
  });
}
