Documented steps
In the Doppler dashboard open the project's Webhooks tab and click Add.
Provide the target URL and select which config(s) trigger it. The event type is currently always config.secrets.update, fired when secrets in a selected config change.
Leave the payload default or define a custom JSON template. The default body contains type, config, project, workplace, and diff, where diff has added, removed and updated secret names.
Set a signing secret during setup so every delivery carries the X-Doppler-Signature header.
On the receiver, verify authenticity: compute a SHA256 HMAC of the RAW request body with the signing secret, prefix it with 'sha256=', and compare to X-Doppler-Signature using a timing-safe equality function.
Make the handler idempotent: Doppler retries failed (non-2xx) deliveries up to 5 times and does not guarantee exactly-once delivery.
Use the Logs view under the project's Webhooks page to inspect delivery history, status codes, retries and payloads when debugging.
After a valid delivery, fetch the actual new values with a scoped token via GET /v3/configs/config/secrets/download - the payload carries names, not values.

Known gotchas
Delivery is at-least-once with up to 5 retries - a handler that is not idempotent will double-apply on retry.
With no signing secret configured, no X-Doppler-Signature header is sent and the payload cannot be authenticated. Always set one on an internet-reachable receiver.
The default diff lists changed secret NAMES only, not values. The receiver must call the secrets endpoints with its own token to obtain values.
Doppler's webhooks documentation describes dashboard-based creation and management only; no public API endpoint for webhook CRUD is documented, so treat webhook provisioning as a UI step rather than something to automate.
Parse and HMAC the raw request body bytes - re-serializing the JSON before hashing changes the bytes and the signature check will fail.
