Steps

  1. When creating a webhook via the Lever Data API or Settings UI, store the signatureToken returned in the creation response — this is your signing secret
  2. Each webhook POST payload contains three top-level fields relevant to verification: token (the webhook identifier), triggeredAt (Unix millisecond timestamp), and signature (the expected HMAC digest)
  3. Concatenate the token value and the triggeredAt value as a plain string with no separator: concatenated = token + triggeredAt
  4. Compute HMAC-SHA256 of the concatenated string using your signatureToken as the key; hex-encode the digest
  5. Compare your computed hex digest to the signature field in the payload using a constant-time comparison; reject with HTTP 403 if they differ
  6. Lever requires HTTPS endpoints; configure your server to accept only TLS connections before registering the webhook URL
