The

web_hook

is one of the actions you can use in Ory Kratos to extend self-service user flows. It allows you to trigger any custom, external logic. This action can be used with all flows and methods except error and logout. To use it, you must provide a webhook configuration. This is the only action type available for the

after

settings flow. Here is an example of a webhook configuration:

hook: web_hook # To use webhooks, you must set 'hook' to 'web_hook'   config:     url: <https://test.hook.site.sh/before_login_hook> # Webhook URL.     method: POST # HTTP method used to send request to the webhook URL.     body: <base64://ENCODED_JSONNET> # Encoded Jsonnet template used to render payload.     response:       ignore: false # Defines if the webhook response should be ignored and run async. Boolean. OPTIONAL       parse: false # Defines if the webhook response should be parsed and interpreted. Boolean. OPTIONAL     auth:       type: # Can be one of 'basic_auth' or 'api_key'       config: # Additional auth config for the hook. Read next section for details.

Webhooks are HTTP callbacks that can be triggered by specific events in your Ory-powered application. They allow Ory Actions to notify external systems, such as Hubspot, Mailchimp, when certain events occur, such as a user registration or profile update. Webhooks can be used for integration with third-party systems, automated workflows, user data modification, and passing additional data on registration. However, when using webhooks, ensure that the data you send is secure and that the external system you are integrating with is trustworthy. If the delivery of a webhook fails due to issues such as network problems or server errors, Ory Network implements a retry policy that attempts to deliver the payload up to three times, with a 30-second timeout between each attempt. For more information, you can refer to the [Ory documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/hooks/configure-hooks#available-actions) and [Ory webhook guide](https://www.ory.sh/docs/guides/integrate-with-ory-cloud-through-webhooks).

Based on the provided configuration, it seems like you're trying to set up a

web_hook

action to be triggered after an OpenID Connect (OIDC) login event. The configuration appears to be mostly correct, but there are a few things to note: 1. The

url

field should be a valid URL where the webhook will send the HTTP request. Make sure that

<http://localhost:9000/>

is the correct URL for your use case. 2. The

method

field is set to

GET

. This means the webhook will send a GET request to the specified URL. Depending on what you want to achieve with this webhook, you might need to use a different HTTP method, such as

POST

. 3. The

response.ignore

field is set to

true

. This means that the webhook will not wait for a response from the server and will not halt the execution of the flow if the server returns an error. However, the configuration is missing the

body

field, which is used to specify the payload that will be sent with the request. If you need to send a payload with the request, you should add this field to the configuration. The payload should be a base64-encoded Jsonnet template. Here's an example of how you might add a payload to the configuration:

yaml login:   ui_url: <http://localhost:4455/ui/login>   after:     oidc:       hooks:         - hook: web_hook           config:             url: <http://localhost:9000/>             method: POST             body: <base64://ENCODED_JSONNET>             response:               ignore: true

In this example, replace

ENCODED_JSONNET

with your base64-encoded Jsonnet template. For more information on how to configure webhooks in Ory, you can refer to the [Ory documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/hooks/configure-hooks#available-actions) and [Ory webhook guide](https://www.ory.sh/docs/guides/integrate-with-ory-cloud-through-webhooks).

If your

web_hook

is not working as expected, there could be several reasons for this. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can take: 1. Check the order of hooks: If an Ory Action webhook fails to trigger, 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, [export the Ory Identities configuration](https://www.ory.sh/docs/guides/cli/identity-cli) and check the order of the actions. The

session

hook should be the last one to run. 2. Check the webhook URL: Ensure that the URL you've provided in the

url

field is correct and that the server at that URL is running and ready to receive requests. 3. Check the HTTP method: Make sure that the HTTP method you've specified in the

method

field is the correct one for your use case. If you're not sure, check the documentation for the API you're trying to call. 4. Check the webhook response: If the

response.ignore

field is set to

false

, the webhook will wait for a response from the server and will halt the execution of the flow if the server returns an error. Check the server logs to see if there are any errors. 5. Check the payload: If you're sending a payload with the request, make sure that it's correctly formatted and base64-encoded. 6. Check the authentication: If your webhook requires authentication, make sure that you've correctly configured the

auth

field. If you've checked all of these things and your webhook is still not working, you might need to look at the server logs or use a tool like Postman to manually send requests to the webhook URL to see if you can identify the problem.
