Wix Automation and calling Webhooks

Hi,

I have setup a Wix automation and I am calling a webhook. My webhook is calling an API which I am protecting with an x-api-key header, for best practices.

According to Wix’s support, it is not supported to provide a header on the webhook for the Wix Automation. This is extremely surprising because all the systems I use when configuring webhook will support adding HTTP headers…

My usecase is “if invoice is paid, call webhook”… Why is it assumed that we would call a unsecure webservice in the automation?

Are they any soutions?

Thank you

Hello,

Wix Automations don’t support adding HTTP headers to webhooks. To work around this, set up a middleware proxy service that receives the webhook from Wix, adds the x-api-key header, and then forwards the request to your protected API. This ensures secure communication without directly exposing your API key.

Best Regard,
