This module implements incoming webhooks for `Cetmix
Tower <https://tower.cetmix.com>`__. Webhooks are authorised using
customisable authenticators which can be pre-configured and reused
across multiple webhooks. Webhooks and authenticators can be exported
and imported using YAML format, which makes them easily sharable.
This module is a part of Cetmix Tower, however it can be used to manage
any other odoo applications.
Please refer to the `official
documentation <https://tower.cetmix.com>`__ for detailed information.

Use Cases / Context
===================
Although Odoo has native support of webhooks staring 17.0, they still
have some limitations. Another option is the OCA 'endpoint' module which
although is more flexible still makes it usable with Cetmix Tower more
complicated.
Configuration
=============
Configure an Authenticator
--------------------------
**⚠️ WARNING: You must be a member of the "Cetmix Tower/Root" group to
configure authenticators.**
- Go to "Cetmix Tower > Settings > Automation > Webhook Authenticators"
and click "New".
**Complete the following fields:**
- Name. Authenticator name
- Reference. Unique reference. Leave this field blank to auto generate
it
- Code. Code that is used to authenticate the request. You can use all
Cetmix Tower - Python command variables except for the server plus the
following webhook specific ones:
- headers: dictionary that contains the request headers
- raw_data: string with the raw HTTP request body
- payload: dictionary that contains the JSON payload or the GET
parameters of the request
**The code returns the result variable in the following format:**
.. code:: python
result = {"allowed": <bool, mandatory, default=False>, "http_code": <int, optional>, "message": <str, optional>}
eg:
.. code:: python
result = {"allowed": True}
result = {"allowed": False, "http_code": 403, "message": "Sorry..."}
Configure a Webhook
-------------------
**⚠️ WARNING: You must be a member of the "Cetmix Tower/Root" group to
configure webhooks.**
- Go to "Cetmix Tower > Settings > Automation > Webhooks" and click
"New".
**Complete the following fields:**
- Enabled. Uncheck this field to disable the webhook without deleting it
- Name. Authenticator name
- Reference. Unique reference. Leave this field blank to auto generate
it
- Authenticator. Select an Authenticator used for this webhook
- Endpoint. Webhook andpoint. The complete webhook URL will be
<your_tower_url>/cetmix_tower_webhooks/
- Run as User. Select a user to run the webhook on behalf of. CAREFUL!
You must realize and understand what you are doing, including all the
possible consequences when selecting a specific user.
- Code. Code that processes the request. You can use all Cetmix Tower
Python command variables (except for the server) plus the following
webhook-specific one:
- headers: dictionary that contains the request headers
- payload: dictionary that contains the JSON payload or the GET
parameters of the request
Webhook code returns a result using the Cetmix Tower Python command
pattern:
.. code:: python
result = {"exit_code": <int, default=0>, "message": <string, default=None}
**To configure the time for which the webhook call logs are stored:**
- Go to "Cetmix Tower > Settings > General Settings"
- Put a number of days into the "Keep Webhook Logs for (days)" field.
Default value is 30.
Please refer to the `official
documentation <https://tower.cetmix.com>`__ for detailed configuration
instructions.
Usage
=====
When a request is received, Cetmix Tower will search for the webhook
with the matching endpoint and authenticate the request using the
selected authenticator. In case of successful authentication webhook
code is run. Each webhook call is logged. Logs are available under the
"Cetmix Tower > Logs > Webhook Calls" menu or under the "Logs" button
directly in the Webhook.
Please refer to the `official
documentation <https://tower.cetmix.com>`__ for detailed usage
instructions.
