Steps
Register a webhook via the Webhooks create operation using an OAuth token with webhook_write scope, supplying webhookSubscriptionEvents (e.g. AGREEMENT_ALL), a scope of ACCOUNT/GROUP/USER/RESOURCE, and either a direct webhookUrlInfo.url or a reference to a previously registered webhook endpoint.
Before activating, Acrobat Sign sends an HTTPS GET verification request to your URL with header X-AdobeSign-ClientId set to your app's client ID; your endpoint must return a 2xx and either echo X-AdobeSign-ClientId in the response header or return a matching client-ID field in a JSON body.
The same client-ID echo requirement applies to every subsequent POST notification your endpoint receives afterward, not just the one-time verification call.
Manage the subscription lifecycle with list/get, update or update-state (requiring an If-Match header for concurrency), and delete operations on the Webhooks resource — each gated by the corresponding webhook_read/webhook_write/webhook_delete scope.
Group-level webhooks can only be created by a Group Admin token; account-level webhooks only by an Account Admin token.
Confirm current version status before building: Adobe's developer guide still documents both the API Reference and Webhook Reference as v6 with no publicly documented successor version as of this writing.
Known gotchas
Webhook registration fails silently from the caller's perspective if your endpoint doesn't answer the X-AdobeSign-ClientId verification GET with a 2xx plus matching client ID — teams that build the POST handler first and skip the GET handler get stuck.
The update operation can only change events/conditional parameters — the webhook URL itself is immutable once created; changing the URL requires deleting and recreating the webhook.
No documented migration path to a newer webhook API version was found; if you see a claim of a newer version elsewhere, verify it directly against current Acrobat Sign developer docs before trusting it.
