Getting Started

Webhooks notify you when an event occurs on your website. Webhooks are particularly useful for asynchronous events like when a subscriber is added to your website, a new team member is added, a subscriber updates their email or name, subscriber purchases any paid plan, etc. This article will cover more details about how Webhooks work on Dorik.

Actions to be triggered

Upon adding a webhook URL to your site, you will receive calls for the following events:

Event Name	When will it be triggered?
add-member	When any new user subscribes to the free plan
update-member	When an existing member updates their email or name.
remove-member	When a user is removed from the member list
add-subscription	When a user purchases any paid plan
update-subscription	When any paid member downgrades to a free plan or changes from annually to monthly or vice versa
cancel-subscription	When a user cancels their subscription

💡 More actions will be added in the future with upcoming updates.


💡 When a webhook URL is added, and it is not validated on the first attempt, the system will automatically retry for validation




Let us look at each event being broken down into more details, refer to the doc below to see all the events being broken down:

How to Verify Secret Key

➡️ When any Webhook request is received during an event, that request’s header X-Webhook-Token will have a secret token. This allows you to verify that the events were sent by Dorik, not by any third party.


The secret value in the header code will look something like this:

eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJuYW1lIjoid2ViaG9vay1wYXlsb2FkIiwiaWF0IjoxNjYzMjMyM********************************************gn03FP78


💡 You can verify this token with the secret key in your site’s Dashboard.
