Summary

Receive and verify WorkOS webhooks. Use when setting up WorkOS webhook handlers, debugging WorkOS-Signature verification, or handling enterprise auth events like dsync.user.created, dsync.group.user_added, connection.activated, user.created, or session.created.

1	# WorkOS Webhooks
2
3	WorkOS is an enterprise-readiness platform (SSO, Directory Sync, AuthKit). It
4	delivers webhooks for Directory Sync, SSO connection, and User Management events
5	so your app can react to changes in enterprise identity providers.
6
7	## When to Use This Skill
8
9	- How do I receive WorkOS webhooks?
10	- How do I verify the WorkOS-Signature header?
11	- Why is my WorkOS webhook signature verification failing?
12	- How do I handle dsync.user.created or dsync.group.user_added events?
13	- How do I react to connection.activated, user.created, or session.created?
14
15	## Verification (core)
16
17	WorkOS signs each webhook with the `WorkOS-Signature` header, formatted
18	`t=<timestamp>, v1=<signature>`. The signature is an HMAC-SHA256 hex digest
19	over `` `${timestamp}.${rawBody}` `` using the endpoint signing secret. The
20	timestamp is in milliseconds; reject anything older than the tolerance
21	(default 180000 ms / 3 min) to prevent replay. Always use the raw request
22	body — don't `JSON.parse` first (the Node SDK re-`JSON.stringify`s objects,
23	which can change the bytes and break verification).
24
25	Node (official `@workos-inc/node` SDK — parses + verifies in one call):
26
27	```javascript
28	const { WorkOS } = require('@workos-inc/node');
29	const workos = new WorkOS(process.env.WORKOS_API_KEY);
30
31	const event = await workos.webhooks.constructEvent({
32	payload: rawBody, // string/Buffer of the raw HTTP body
33	sigHeader: req.headers['workos-signature'],
34	secret: process.env.WORKOS_WEBHOOK_SECRET, // endpoint signing secret
35	});
36	// Throws SignatureVerificationException on tampering or a stale timestamp.
37	// event.event is the type string (e.g. 'dsync.user.created'); event.data is the object.
38	```
39
40	Manual (any language — for frameworks the SDK doesn't cover, e.g. FastAPI):
41
42	```python
43	ts, sig = parse_workos_signature(header) # "t=..., v1=..."
44	if int(time.time() * 1000) - int(ts) > 180_000: # milliseconds!
45	reject()
46	expected = hmac.new(secret.encode(), f"{ts}.{raw_body}".encode(), hashlib.sha256).hexdigest()
47	hmac.compare_digest(expected, sig) # timing-safe
48	```

57	\| Event \| Triggered When \|
58	\|-------\|----------------\|
59	\| `dsync.user.created` \| A user is added in a synced directory \|

61	\| `dsync.group.user_added` \| A user is added to a directory group \|
62	\| `connection.activated` \| An SSO connection is activated \|
63	\| `user.created` \| A User Management user is created \|
64	\| `session.created` \| A user authenticates and a session starts \|
