HTTP Webhooks

HTTP Webhooks for Playwright and Cypress tests dashboard

Enabling HTTP Webhook Integration will trigger an HTTP POST request to an endpoint of your choice.

Currents will send a POST request for the following lifecycle event of Cypress or Playwright tests run:

• a new run starts

• a run finishes

• a run times out

• a run is cancelled

Please note: The endpoint should be publicly accessible

Examples

Security

Validate the authenticity of Currents webhooks by setting custom HTTP headers.

Timestamp

Currents includes an x-timestamp HTTP header with the system's epoch timestamp for each webhook request to help you prevent replay attacks. Make sure your server's clock is synchronized with a reliable time source to avoid validation issues.

Custom Headers

You can set custom headers to pass a secret key with each webhook request.

Add a secret key in the headers so that your system can validate that the request came from Currents.
