# Configuring Skillable TMS Webhooks

Webhooks are a way our platforms can send automated messages or information to you. They can be used to automatically inform you when a Course Assignment or Class has been changed in the Skillable TMS.

You will need to know how to use webhooks in the TMS if you want to automatically receive notifications.

## Best Practices

Webhooks, likeAPI endpoints, provide an easy method of retrieving data or notifications of events. Follow these best practices to get the most of your webhook configurations.

- Webhooks, unlike APIs, do not require a request. Configure the webhook to activate on the most appropriate event for the best results.
- Always ensure that the receiving URL is properly configured and available. If you receive an error when you navigate to the receiving URL you will not receive the webhook payload.
- Be careful when configuring the Delay, Timeout and Maximum Retries as this can cause confusion when multiple webhooks are configured or triggered at the same time.

## Firewall and IP Allowlist Requirements

If your application uses a firewall or IP-based access controls, you may need to allow TMS webhook IP addresses to ensure delivery succeeds.

TMS sends webhook requests from a defined set of IP addresses. Allowlist the addresses below to ensure reliable webhook delivery and avoid connection failures:

```plaintext
13.65.147.174
13.66.35.217
13.66.36.88
13.66.38.89
13.66.39.88
13.66.49.9
13.84.211.189
20.118.115.115
20.118.117.169
20.225.16.177
20.225.16.191
20.225.17.32
20.225.17.54
20.225.17.79
20.225.17.100
20.225.17.120
20.225.17.139
20.225.17.180
20.225.17.181
172.206.138.103
```

> IP addresses are subject to change over time. Review our documentation periodically and update your firewall rules accordingly.

## Create a TMS Webhook

You can set up one or more webhooks on your Organization profile.

1. From the Site Administration page on the Organizations tile, select **My Organizations**.
2. Select your organization's name link.
3. Select the **Edit** link.
4. Select the **Webhooks** tab.
5. Select **Add** link.

## Set up your TMS Webhooks

Configure your Skillable TMS Webhook using this chart

| Field | Description |
| --- | --- |
| **Name** | Enter the name of the webhook. |
| **Trigger Event** | Select the event which occurs to enact the webhook. Available events include: • **Course assignment changed**: Triggered when a Course Assignment is changed (started, completed, expired, cancelled). • **Class changed**: Triggered when the status of a class changes (requested, tentative, scheduled, guaranteed to run, cancelled, denied, rescheduled, completed). |
| **URL** | Input a webhook URL where the Webhook response is sent when the configured platform event occurs. |
| **HttpHeaders** | Send additional information with an HTTP request or response, an HTTP header consists of its case-insensitive name followed by a colon ( : ), then by its value. Headers should be entered in `name=value` format, with each header on a new line. It is recommended to add an authorization header in order to secure your webhook. If Basic Authentication is required for the webhook in the header field enter `Authorization=Basic <Base64 URL Safe version of the Username:Password>`. Assuming a username of `Webhookuser` and a password of `webhookpassword` the Base64 URL Safe string of `Webhookuser:webhookpassword` is `V2ViaG9va3VzZXI6d2ViaG9va3Bhc3N3b3Jk`. In the header field the full entry would be `Authorization=Basic V2ViaG9va3VzZXI6d2ViaG9va3Bhc3N3b3Jk`. To help with converting the username and password there are many available tools including [Cyber Chef](https://cyberchef.org/) |
| **Delay Seconds** | Input an optional delay before the webhook is triggered. |
| **Timeout Seonds** | Include the amount of time to wait for the webhook request to complete before timing out. |
| **Max Retries** | Set the maximum number of times the webhook will be called in the event of an error response. The time between retries is 1 second for the 1st retry, 2 seconds for the 2nd retry, 3 seconds for the 3rd retry, 4 seconds for the 4th retry, and 5 seconds for the 5th retry. There is a maximum of five retries. |
| **Enabled** | Checking this activates the webhook. |

Webhooks are a way to enhance or modify the behavior of a webpage or web application by using custom callbacks. These callbacks allow external services or applications to be notified when specific events occur, enabling seamless integration and interaction between different systems.

A course assignment delivers self-paced access to a course. A course is assigned to a student giving immediate access to the student. It can be accessed at any time for the duration of the assignment. The assignment duration begins and is billed when it is created.

A class is a scheduled instructor-led event with a start and end time/date. Typically, these include lectures and hands on activities such as labs.

An API, also known as an Application Programming interface, consists of a defined set of rules and protocols that enable seamless communication between different software applications. A common language for software systems to collaborate effectively.

An organization is assigned to each entity in the TMS, such as, users, classes, subscriptions, and courses. The organization is a basis to determine access given based on roles within the organization and management over the organization.
