Webhooks support pushing real-time updates from the server to the client as those updates happen. These are useful whenever you need to know exactly when a specific event happens, allowing you to take action on those events immediately via the API.

Supported events

  • An order is completed. Event code: order.finalized
  • A customer record is created. Event code: customer.created
  • A customer record is updated. Event code: customer.updated
  • A rewards card is created. Event code: rewardcard.created
  • A product/ingredient/modifier is out of stock. Event code: inout.stock
  • Menu is updated. Event code: menu.updated
  • Integration is changed. Event code: app.integration.changed
  • Endpoint test request. Event code: ping

Webhook Setup

To get Webhook updates you need to provide Revel with one or more URLs that will receive a POST request whenever appropriate action occurs. For example, the below URLs could be provided to Revel to receive these notifications for each of the above actions:

You can choose one or more action to send notifications for. You do not have to send notification for every action that Revel supports.

Webhook endpoint URL requirements:

To streamline the integration process and enhance security, Revel Systems requires partners to use a single webhook endpoint per event for all clients. This approach simplifies the management of webhooks, reduces potential points of failure and streamlines the onboarding process for our clients!

Instead of creating unique endpoint URLs for each client, you may utilise headers to distinguish between clients. All of our Webhook event's that require distinction between clients include headers that can be used to identify which Client and Establishment the event is being sent from. The following paragraph will describe the headers we include in our events.

Revel Headers

Each event from Revel, except for the readiness test event, will include the following headers:

X-Revel-Signature: request signature to authenticate the request

X-Revel-Instance: Customer Instance name

X-Revel-Event-Type: Type of the event originated the request

X-Revel-Event-Id: unique event identifier

X-Revel-Message-Id: unique message identifier

Optional headers:

X-Revel-Establishment-Id: Establishment ID (if applicable for the event)

Ensuring Webhook events are accepted

The following requirements should be met in order to ensure your system is configured to accept the webhook events we sent:

  • Should use HTTPS protocol
  • Should accept POST requests
  • Should accept JSON body
  • Should be accessible publicly
  • Should respond with 2XX status code
  • Should respond within 10 seconds

Webhook readiness test:

During setup Revel Systems will send a test request to provided endpoint. Your endpoint should meet all of the requirements above for the readiness test to be successful.

Test request will have the following headers:

X-Revel-Event-Type: ping

X-Revel-Signature: “xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx“

Payload will contain a JSON object:

{"ping": "pong"}
connection	close
accept-encoding	gzip
x-revel-signature	101d196a9266dcbbb3a7326f3fe40a774c9edd1f
x-revel-event-type	ping
content-type	application/json
content-length	16

Retry mechanism:

If your Webhook endpoint doesn't meet all of the above requirements, it will trigger the following retry mechanism:

  • Instant retries - there will be 2 extra tries after a failed Webhook Request.
  • Exponential retries - if a Webhook Request failed after instant retries, it will be put back into a queue and retry with a delay. The delay is computed by retry number - 1st: 60sec; 2nd: 180sec; 3rd: 360sec; 4th: 600sec; 5th: 900sec

So overall there will be up to 15 (3 instant within 6 delay-able) tries to get successful response with every failed Webhook Request.

Message Signature And Other Headers

Our webhook service uses HMAC-SHA1 to ensure the integrity and authenticity of the data we send. Specifically, we create a hash-based message authentication code (HMAC) using the SHA-1 algorithm and your secret key. This HMAC is then encoded as a hexadecimal string and sent along with the payload through the X-Revel-Signature header. You can use this signature to verify that the data has not been tampered with.

After webhook setup, Revel will provide the webhook recipient with a shared secret key necessary for message payload verification.

Example of X-Revel-Signature Header:

X-Revel-Signature: XIUKGMCYQYNULKYDLQTL
X-Revel-Instance: revelcustomer

A couple of examples of signature calculation:

import hmac
from hashlib import sha1

signature = hmac.new(
    "{the-shared-secret}".encode('utf-8'),
    "{the-request-body-string}".encode('utf-8'),
sha1).hexdigest()
import (
   "crypto/hmac"
   "crypto/sha1"
   "encoding/hex"
)

func calculateWebhookSignature(secretKey string, payload []byte) string {
    h := hmac.New(sha1.New, []byte(secretKey))
    h.Write(payload)
    signature := hex.EncodeToString(h.Sum(nil))
    return signature
}

Webhook Data

Field types

Webhook Request payloads might contain the following field types:

  • String - String data. Example: "Hello World"
  • Boolean - Boolean data. Example: true
  • Integer - Integer data. Example: 2673
  • Float - Floating point numeric data. Example: 26.73
  • DateTime - A date & time as a string (ISO 8601). Example: "2023-12-10T03:07:43"
  • Decimal - Fixed precision numeric data. Example: "12.345678"

Integration changed payload samples

Whenever there is an access change to your integration the app.integration.changed event will trigger. There are 3 types of actions that can trigger the event: Create (a Revel instance was added to your application), Update(Additional establishment(s) access were added or removed to an instance you already have access to) or Delete(An instance access was removed).

Created payload (a Revel instance was added to your application):

{
    "action": "CREATE",
    "client_id": "your-instance-name",
    "full_access": true,
    "id": "aaaaaaaa-bbbb-cccc-dddd-eeeeeeeeeeee"
}

Update payload (Application Integration has been changed):

{
    "action": "UPDATE",
    "client_id": "your-instance-name",
    "establishments": [1],
    "id": "aaaaaaaa-bbbb-cccc-dddd-eeeeeeeeeeee"
}

Delete payload (Application Integration has been deleted):

{
    "action": "DELETE",
    "client_id": "your-instance-name",
    "id": "aaaaaaaa-bbbb-cccc-dddd-eeeeeeeeeeee"
}

Order completed Payload sample

Upon completion of an order, a representation of the completed order will be sent using Revel's OrderAllInOne format, which includes information for the Order, Order Items, Payments, and Order History. The information about the loyalty transaction can be found under orderInfo.gift_reward_data, which is a JSON object sent in string format. The gift_reward_data values in the following sample contain line breaks for readability's sake.
