Understanding webhooks

A webhook allows Veracode Software Composition Analysis to notify you when certain events occur in your project. When the event is triggered, Veracode sends an HTTP POST request with a payload to your configured URL. Your receiving system must be able to accept custom payloads.

Webhook trigger events​

These events can trigger notifications:

EventDescription
ScanVeracode successfully scans project.
Vulnerability issues discovered in project library after a scanThe Veracode research team releases a new vulnerability that affects your project
Vulnerability issues changed in project library after a scanThe Veracode research team updates a vulnerability that affects your project

Webhook payload examples​

Each trigger event generates a particular type of payload with the relevant information. These examples show the content Veracode provides for each event.
