Token Authentication in Webhooks

Hi everyone!
I was wondering if there is any way to edit authentication bearer tokens in data connection webhooks in Foundry? I’m currently using a webhook but would like to have the ability to update the token when it expires.

Hey @skudum

Webhook authentication is pulled from the associated source. So, you can update the token in your source and it will automatically be used by the webhooks.

Note that you should generally be using service user Client Credentials instead of a regular user API token for this sort of thing, because that would ① avoid the need to update the token when it expires and ② be more compatible with general security best-practices.
