A webhook integration allows you to send BloxOne Infoblox Platform notifications to a designated application by using a unique URL. When setting up a webhook service, you can choose to use the default webhook template or construct a custom template for a specific payload for your webhook notification. 

...

To set up a new webhook service, do the following:

1. Log in to the Cloud Services Portal.On the left navigation panel, go to Notifications > Infoblox Portal.
2. Click the notification icon on the top right corner of the Portal (next to the global search icon).
3. In the Notifications panel, click the ellipse icon > View All/Settings.
4. Click the Service Integrations tab.
5. Click Add Service Integration and specify the following:

• Type: From the drop-down menu, select Custom to set up a webhook integration.
• Name: Enter the name of the webhook service. BloxOne Infoblox Platform uses this name on the Notification Settings page, for configuration purposes. For more information, see Configuring Notification Settings.
• URL: Enter the URL of the application to which you want BloxOne Infoblox Platform to send notifications. Email notifications in a standardized JSON format are sent to this URL.
• Authentication: From the drop-down menu, choose the authentication method for this webhook integration:
  
  • None: No authentication is required for this integration.
  • Basic: Enter the username and password for basic authentication.
  • Token: Enter the access token to be used for authentication.  

• Template: A template determines the output of your webhook notification. You can create a custom webhook template in the editor provided here.  BloxOne Infoblox Platform supports the Go template format: a standard template used to generate textual output. For information about Go templates, see https://pkg.go.dev/text/template. If you do not provide a custom template, BloxOne Infoblox Platform generates the payload according to the supported fields in the default template. For more information, see Default Webhook Template and Supported Keys.

• Webhook Context: Note the following when creating a custom webhook template.
• You can include actions in your template by specifying user-defined key-value pairs in Webhook Context. When generating the payload, BloxOne  Infoblox Platform uses the keys and values you define.
• If you compose a valid template but have not defined any key-value pairs in Webhook Context, then BloxOne Infoblox Platform obtains the values from the database, if the values exist. For the keys that do not have values, only the key names with empty values will appear in the payload.
• If you compose a valid template but do not include certain keys you have defined in Webhook Context, BloxOne Infoblox Platform ignores those key-value pairs, so they will not appear in the payload.
• If your custom template includes supported keys from the default template, and if you have defined key-value pairs for them in Webhook Context, the user-defined values will override the default values, if applicable.

...

For more information about the default template and supported keys, see Default Webhook Template and Supported Keys.

You can also use the BloxOne Infoblox API to create a custom template. For more information about using the notification APIs, see BloxOne Cloud > Infoblox Platform > Notifications config in
