Webhooks
Webhook helps you to get notified as soon as someone takes a desired action on your platform. A Webhook enables an application to send automated messages or information to another application, whenever an event takes place, in real-time. Basically, a Webhook is a medium that enables apps to communicate with each other and share data.
Available events in Webhook
Any change that occurs on an application or a system is considered an event. Here are some default events that we provide:
1. Viewing Session
Find out who watched your video. When someone clicks on your video, we’ll notify you of the watch rate along with other user details (only if the viewer has logged in before watching your video).

Secret Key
On the other hand, anyone with your server URL can send you data. To verify the data source, we suggest you create a secret key of your choice. So that whenever you receive information from Hippo Video, you can verify whether the data is from us.
It works this way - Every time you receive data from our side, we also provide Hippo Video signature in the request. Using the signature, you can verify the data authenticity by checking it at your end. We’ll generate an HMAC hexdigest of the POST body, using the secret_key that you created, while configuring your webhook. The generated hexdigest will be shared with you along with the event data. If you have any questions, contact us at support@hippovideo.io

Frequently Asked Questions
About the Scheduled downtime?
This can be 2 parts,
1. Feature upgrades, version upgrades of infra services - We will plan for this without any downtime, by splitting it into multiple segments or having a backup during that period. If any restart is required, there could be a downtime of certain components during the restart. But we will inform about this well in advance to our customers.
2. For AWS recommended patch updates - This would have downtime, but will be for a very short period of about 5 - 10 minutes, affecting only a few components.
What about browser compatibility? What are the browsers supporting for Recording and Playback?
Video Recording - Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari, and Edge
Video Playback - All browsers and devices.
Do we require one account for all customers or one account per user?
We can support both models.
1. One CSOD account with each organization as a user inside the account.
2. Separate accounts created for each organization of CSOD where accounts
Is the data passed to other regions even temporarily?
No. None of the data will be passed to any of the regions apart from the configured region for that user.
