WebhooksCopy Anchor Link

Momen sends events to the URL you configure under Settings → Developer. You do not call Momen for these — Momen calls you.

HeadersCopy Anchor Link

The signature is computed over the timestamp and the raw request body, joined by a period, keyed with your webhook token (whsec_…):

signature = HMAC_SHA256(
  key     = whsec_your_token,
  message = "{timestamp}.{raw_request_body}"
)

Verify before trusting the payloadCopy Anchor Link

1. Reject the request if X-Momen-Timestamp is more than 5 minutes from your own clock (blocks replayed deliveries).
2. Recompute the signature over the raw body, exactly as received. Parsing and re-encoding JSON changes the bytes and the signature will not match.
3. Compare using a constant-time function (hash_equals in PHP, crypto.timingSafeEqual in Node, hmac.compare_digest in Python).

Verification snippetsCopy Anchor Link

<?php

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Abort;

function verifyMomenWebhook(Request $request, string $webhookToken): string
{
    $timestamp = $request->header('X-Momen-Timestamp');
    $signature = $request->header('X-Momen-Signature');

    if (! is_string($timestamp) || ! is_string($signature)) {
        abort(400, 'Missing signature headers');
    }

    if (abs(time() - (int) $timestamp) > 300) {
        abort(400, 'Timestamp too old');
    }

    $payload = $request->getContent();
    $expected = hash_hmac('sha256', $timestamp.'.'.$payload, $webhookToken);

    if (! hash_equals($expected, $signature)) {
        abort(400, 'Invalid signature');
    }

    return $payload;
}

A small Node script in this repo (npm run verify:webhooks) proves the PHP and Node algorithms against a fixed sample.

RespondingCopy Anchor Link

Return any 2xx once you have stored the event. Momen treats anything else as a failure and retries.

Respond before doing slow work. Deliveries time out after 10 seconds.

RetriesCopy Anchor Link

Failed deliveries are retried up to 5 times with increasing delays:

1. 1 minute
2. 5 minutes
3. 30 minutes
4. 2 hours
5. 6 hours

After the fifth attempt the event is marked failed and can be resent by hand from Settings → Developer → Events.

Ordering and duplicatesCopy Anchor Link

Deliveries are not guaranteed to arrive in order, and may arrive more than once.

Make your handler idempotent: key on event_id, and ignore an event whose created_at is older than the state you have already recorded.
