If your Ory Action webhook is not triggering as expected, there are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue. Firstly, verify whether the sign in after registration
session
hook is activated. The
session
hook modifies the HTTP response, and no other hooks are executed after it. If you want to execute other hooks besides the
session
hook, you need to make sure that it is executed last. To debug this issue, you can export the Ory Identities configuration and check the order of the actions. The
session
hook should be the last one to run. For more information on the
session
hook, you can refer to the [Sign in after registration](https://www.ory.sh/docs/actions/session) documentation. If you are integrating with external services like HubSpot, Segment, or Mailchimp, you can also test the integration to ensure that data is routed correctly from your application to the respective service. For example, if you are integrating with HubSpot, after setting up the necessary contact lists and creating a private app for the integration, you can test the integration by checking if the user data is correctly updated in HubSpot when a user completes the registration flow. For more detailed troubleshooting steps, you can refer to the [Troubleshoot Ory Actions Webhook issues](https://www.ory.sh/docs/troubleshooting/troubleshoot-actions) documentation.

@chilly-king-10285 I have this route in my fastapi app that will handle the webhook, how do I return a good error that ory will understand and be able to parse? *@router.get*(“/webhook/user-whitelisted”, response_model=User) async def *get_user_whitelist*(request: Request, body: UserRequestBody = Body(...)) -> Dict[str, Optional[str]]: print(“Body:“, body) email = body.traits[‘email’] # Retrieve user whitelist data _# user_data = get_users_whitelist(email)_ print(‘email:’) print(email) user_data = get_users_whitelist(email) print(user_data) _# print(user_data)_ if user_data: return user_data _else_: error_response = { “messages”: [ { “instance_ptr”: “#/traits/email”, # Points to the field that failed validation. “messages”: [ { “id”: 404, # Unique numeric ID of the error. “text”: “user is not whitelisted”, # Human-readable error message. “type”: “validation”, “context”: { “value”: “value not found” } } ] } ] } raise HTTPException(status_code=404, detail=error_response)

When handling the webhook in your FastAPI app, you can use the request payload to decide how Ory should proceed. If you want to deny the token exchange, you can reply with a
403
HTTP status code. However, if you want to return a specific error that Ory can understand and parse, you can return a JSON object with specific properties. The Ory API expects error responses to have certain properties such as
error
,
error_debug
,
error_description
,
error_hint
, and
status_code
. Here is an example of how you can structure your error response:
Copy code
python error_response = {     "error": "Error",     "error_debug": "Error Debug Information",     "error_description": "Error Description",     "error_hint": "The redirect URL is not allowed.",     "status_code": 401 } raise HTTPException(status_code=401, detail=error_response)
In this example,
error_hint
helps the user identify the error cause.
error_debug
is only available in dev mode. The
status_code
is the HTTP Status Code. Please note that the error response structure should match the structure expected by the Ory API. You can refer to the [Ory API Reference](https://www.ory.sh/docs/reference/api) for more details on the expected structure of the error response.

@chilly-king-10285 i di that but when I try to log in the hook interrupts the flow correctly and then shows this error as if it does not understand
Copy code
{
  "id": "63982532-52f0-4d83-bdbb-c6b52d2436bd",
  "error": {
    "code": 500,
    "message": "error while parsing webhook response: got no validation errors",
    "status": "Internal Server Error"
  },
  "created_at": "2024-05-14T20:02:22.648126Z",
  "updated_at": "2024-05-14T20:02:22.648126Z"
}

The error message "error while parsing webhook response: got no validation errors" indicates that Ory is expecting validation errors in the response from your webhook, but it's not finding any. When you want to interrupt the flow with a webhook in Ory, you need to return a specific payload structure that includes validation errors. This payload should be in the following format:
Copy code
json {   "messages": [     {       "instance_ptr": "#/traits/foo/bar",  // Points to the field that failed validation.       "messages": [         {           "id": 123,  // Unique numeric ID of the error.           "text": "field must be longer than 12 characters",  // Human-readable error message.           "type": "validation",           "context": {             "value": "short value"  // The value that failed validation.           }         }       ]     }   ] }
In your case, you should return a similar payload when the user is not whitelisted. Here's an example:
Copy code
python error_response = {     "messages": [         {             "instance_ptr": "#/traits/email",  # Points to the field that failed validation.             "messages": [                 {                     "id": 404,  # Unique numeric ID of the error.                     "text": "user is not whitelisted",  # Human-readable error message.                     "type": "validation",                     "context": {                         "value": email  # The value that failed validation.                     }                 }             ]         }     ] } raise HTTPException(status_code=404, detail=error_response)
This will return a validation error that Ory can parse and handle correctly. For more information, you can refer to the [Ory documentation on flow-interrupting webhooks](https://www.ory.sh/docs/guides/integrate-with-ory-cloud-through-webhooks#flow-interrupting-webhooks).

@chilly-king-10285 hey, I was able to block the sign up with password depending on the return of my flow blocking hook I use after registration, however if I use sign up with code, my flow does not block anything
c
A message from kapa.ai
The "Sign up with code" method is a different registration method from the "Sign up with password" method. If your flow-blocking hook is only set up for the "Sign up with password" method, it won't affect the "Sign up with code" method. In Ory, different registration methods are handled separately. If you want to block the "Sign up with code" method as well, you'll need to set up a separate flow-blocking hook for that method. Here's an example of what the "Sign up with code" method might look like in the Ory configuration:
Copy code
json {   "id": 1040006,   "text": "Sign up with code",   "type": "info" }
You'll need to add a flow-blocking hook for this method in your Ory configuration, similar to how you added one for the "Sign up with password" method. For more information on how to set up flow-blocking hooks, you can refer to the [Ory documentation on flow-interrupting webhooks](https://www.ory.sh/docs/guides/integrate-with-ory-cloud-through-webhooks#flow-interrupting-webhooks).

@chilly-king-10285 in the ory console where do I set up the flow interrupting hooks?
c
A message from kapa.ai
To set up flow-interrupting hooks in the Ory console, you need to navigate to the Actions section. Here are the steps: 1. Navigate to [Ory Network > Developers > Actions](https://console.ory.sh/projects/current/developers/actions). There, click on + Create new Action. 2. Choose the flow type that best suits your need and determine the execution time. Here, you should also provide other necessary data, such as the URL and request method. 3. Click on Next. The ensuing screen allows you to establish authentication parameters and input request body details. 4. Once you have all adjusted settings, click on Save action. Your new Ory Action has now been created and is ready to operate. For more detailed instructions, you can refer to the [Creating Actions on the Ory Network](https://www.ory.sh/docs/guides/integrate-with-ory-cloud-through-webhooks#creating-actions-on-the-ory-network) documentation.

@chilly-king-10285 why is it that if I set my hook to run after all menthods it does not hit my webhok but if I set password only it does?
c
A message from kapa.ai
The behavior you're experiencing might be due to the specific configuration of your hooks. In Ory, hooks can be configured to trigger based on the authentication method used to sign in, register, and update user settings. If you set your hook to run
after
all methods, it should be triggered after any authentication method completes. However, if a specific authentication method specifies actions, it overrides the default actions for the flow. For example, if you have a hook set to run
after
all methods, but you also have a specific hook set for the
password
method, the
password
hook will be executed instead of the general
after
hook when a user logs in with a password. Here's an example of what this might look like in the Ory configuration:
Copy code
yaml selfservice:    flows:    login: # Defines for which flow triggers the action.    before: # When the user starts the flow    hooks:    - hook: hook_1 # Specifies which hook is triggered.    after: # When the user submits the flow    hooks:    - hook: hook_2 # is executed for all authentication methods except password    password:    hooks:    - hook: hook_3 # is executed only for password method
In this example,
hook_3
is executed when the user logs in with a password,
hook_2
is executed when the user logs in with any other method, and
hook_1
is executed for all login flows when the user starts the flow. If you're experiencing issues with your hooks not triggering as expected, you might want to check your Ory configuration to ensure that your hooks are set up correctly. For more information, you can refer to the [Ory documentation on configuring hooks](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/hooks/configure-hooks#trigger-precedence).
