How do I implement webhook authentication in my application?

To implement webhook authentication, you can use methods like HMAC signatures or token-based authentication. Which one are you considering?

I'm thinking about using HMAC signatures. How does that work?

HMAC signatures involve creating a hash of the payload using a secret key. The receiver can then verify the hash to ensure the payload hasn't been tampered with.

What steps do I need to take to set this up?

First, generate a secret key. Then, create a hash of the payload using this key and send it along with the webhook. The receiver will use the same key to verify the hash.
