Receiving webhooks

POST signed JSON or SendGrid Inbound Parse.

A webhook is optional. Leave webhook_url blank to store mail and poll it. When set, PostShiba POSTs each message after ingest.

Formats

webhook_format Description
json Default. JSON object from the inbound payload, including attachment content_base64.
sendgrid_parse SendGrid Inbound Parse form fields. Raw MIME is email. Attachments are attachment1, attachment2, plus attachment-info.

Signing and URL rules

Every POST carries X-Capsule-Timestamp and X-Capsule-Signature: sha256=HMAC_SHA256(secret, "{timestamp}.{body}"). Production webhook_url must be https. Non-public URLs are blocked.

webhook_secret is returned on create and show only. The dashboard can change webhook_url and webhook_format. The API has no inbox update.
