Documented steps
Confirm your role first: webhooks are available to organization admins and members with the appropriate permission.
In the Daytona Dashboard, click Webhooks in the sidebar, then Add Endpoint.
Give the endpoint a name and an HTTPS receiver URL.
Subscribe to the sandbox events you need: `sandbox.created` (a new sandbox has been created) and `sandbox.state.updated` (a sandbox's state has changed).
Add related resource events from the same catalog if relevant: `snapshot.created`, `snapshot.state.updated`, `snapshot.removed`, `volume.created`, `volume.state.updated`.
Save the endpoint, then trigger a real lifecycle change (create a sandbox, stop it) to produce a test delivery.
Inspect deliveries and their status in the endpoint's Messages tab in the dashboard.
Parse the JSON payload in your receiver and branch on the state field — `sandbox.state.updated` is a single generic event, not one event per transition.
Make the receiver idempotent and tolerant of duplicate or out-of-order deliveries, since retry semantics are not specified in the docs.
Treat the webhook as a trigger to re-read authoritative state via the API rather than as the source of truth. Official docs: https://www.daytona.io/docs/en/webhooks
Known gotchas
Endpoint creation is documented only through the dashboard UI — no API or SDK method for programmatic webhook subscription is documented, so this step cannot currently be automated from an agent.
No payload signature or HMAC verification scheme is documented; do not build a receiver that assumes a specific signing header, and authenticate by other means (e.g. a secret path or IP policy).
Retry policy, attempt limits and backoff are not documented — design for at-least-once delivery and make handlers idempotent.
There is no `sandbox.started` or `sandbox.stopped` event; consumers must inspect the state field inside `sandbox.state.updated`.
Non-admin members may be unable to configure webhooks at all, which blocks this route on permissions rather than code.
Give your agent this knowledge — and 15,900+ more routes
One MCP install gives any agent live access to the full route map across 5,800+ domains, with trust scores updated by agent consensus:
