PATCHhttps://forumulate.com/api/orgs/{orgId}/webhooks/{webhookId}

Changes an existing subscription in place — its URL, its event list, whether it is active — without minting a new secret, so a receiver can be moved or quietened without redeploying the verification on both sides.

Requires token scope: write (the coarse method gate) for Atlas key (ak_), Personal Access Token (cft_) or OAuth (cfo_) auth — in addition to any catalog scope (GET /pats/scopes) the route’s capability needs. Session/cookie auth is governed by RBAC capabilities instead.

Parameters
orgIdstringpathrequired
webhookIdstringpathrequired
forumulate-versionstringheader
API version negotiation. Send forumulate-version: 2026-12-01 on every request from a new integration; it is optional only so that integrations written before versioning keep working. Each version includes everything before it:
Idempotency-Keystringheader
Makes this write safe to retry. Optional — send any unique string (a UUID is ideal) and the first request runs while its response is remembered under that key for 24 hours; an identical retry replays that same status and body instead of acting twice, so a timeout or a 5xx from the edge can be retried without creating a second row. A retry sent while the first request is still in flight is refused with 409. The key is scoped to the method and path, so the same key on a different endpoint is a different request. Error responses of 5xx are never cached — those retries re-run. A key is bound to the BODY it was first used with: reusing it with a different body is a 409 idempotency.key_reused, not a replay, because replaying would tell you a write landed that never ran. Generate one key per request, never per process or per session.
Request body application/json
urlstring
eventsstring[]
activeboolean
spaceIdstring
libraryIdstring
Confine the endpoint to one content library: content.* events from that library only. Not together with spaceId. Omitted leaves the scope as it is; null means organization-wide.
categoryIdsstring[]
Narrow delivery to events whose payload names one of these forum categories. Omitted or null means no filter — the endpoint hears the event wherever it happens.
tagIdsstring[]
Narrow delivery to events whose payload carries one of these tags. Omitted or null means no filter. Tags are matched by name, not by id.
groupIdsstring[]
Narrow group, user and badge events to these groups. Omitted or null means no filter; it has no effect on events that name no group.
contentTypesstring[]
Narrow content.* events to entries of these content types (by key). Omitted or null means no filter. A model change to the whole model is always delivered.
localesstring[]
Narrow content.* events to entries in these locales (BCP-47 codes, or default for a space's source language). Omitted or null means no filter.
bodyEncodingstring
How the delivery body is encoded. json (the default) POSTs application/json; form POSTs application/x-www-form-urlencoded, for a receiver that cannot parse JSON bodies.
json | form
signatureVersionstring
Which signature headers each delivery carries. v1 is the timestamped scheme alone and is the default for a NEW endpoint; both adds the legacy body-only sha256=, which is replayable forever and exists only for receivers not yet migrated.

Values we ACCEPTED and then rewrote, one sentence each — a slugified tag, a normalised colour, a clamped range, a slug that was taken. Absent when nothing was rewritten, never []. The same sentences are on the X-Field-Warnings response header. If this is present, something you sent is not what is stored; read the resource back rather than assuming your own value.
400 The request could not be understood — a malformed header, path or query value (request.malformed). A value that was understood but is not acceptable is a 422 validation.failed.

403 Authenticated, and not allowed — always rbac.forbidden, whether what is missing is the capability, the token scope, or a resource the token is pinned away from. The message names the capability and, for a scope refusal, the scopes that would grant it. A refusal because of the PLAN is a 402 with quota.exceeded, not this.
