Event Forwarder workflow example:

  1. Create an Event Forwarder rule in the Openpath Control Center with https://api.mycompany.com/openpath-receiver as the target URL

    1. To learn how to create rules, refer to How do I use the Rules Engine?

  2. Openpath’s cloud sends the app an HTTP request at https://api.mycompany.com like this:

    Code Block
    POST /openpath-receiver HTTP/1.1
    Host: api.mycompany.com
    X-Hook-Secret: someLongRandomString12345
    [other standard http headers, not relevant here][no request body]
  3. The receiver app’s API must respond to that request with a 200 response code and the same X-Hook-Secret:

    Code Block
    HTTP/1.1 200 OK
    X-Hook-Secret: someLongRandomString12345
    [other standard http headers, not relevant here][no response body]
  4. Openpath finishes saving the rule and considers it now validated and active

For more information on X-Hook-Secrets and the Immediate Confirmation model, refer to REST Hooks documentation.
