Steps
Register or enable an External Application in Brivo Access to get API access scoped for your integration
Configure a webhook subscription for the event types you need (e.g. 'open' action events for single access grants), pointing at your callback/target URL
Verify inbound webhook calls against your endpoint before trusting them — Brivo delivers events as they occur rather than requiring you to poll the events endpoint on an interval
Fall back to explicit events-endpoint filtering (time-range filters) only for backfilling gaps or reconciling missed webhook deliveries
Confirm with current Brivo API docs the exact subscription endpoint, event-type enum, and any signature/verification header, since third-party integration guides describe the concept but not a full public spec
Known gotchas
Brivo's own docs explicitly frame webhooks as preferable to polling the events endpoint on a set interval for efficiency and latency reasons
Exact subscription registration endpoint and payload signature verification mechanism weren't independently confirmed against Brivo's live reference this session — validate against your account's current API docs before shipping
Treat webhook delivery as at-least-once and add idempotency handling; use the events endpoint as a reconciliation fallback, not your primary source of truth
