Webhooks

Instead of continually querying the API to check the status of a transaction, policy, or workflow, IBM Digital Asset Haven sends an HTTP POST request to your configured endpoint as soon as the event takes place. This event‑driven approach increases efficiency and helps you build responsive, automated systems. For example, you can use webhooks to:

• Receive instant notifications about the entire transaction lifecycle, including: Created, Signed, Broadcasted, Confirmed, and Failed.
• Trigger internal alerts when a policy requires team approval.
• Update a customer’s order status in your system as soon as a payment is confirmed on-chain.

All webhook requests are cryptographically signed so you can verify that they originate from IBM Digital Asset Haven. This guide explains how to set up, secure, and subscribe to webhook events.
