Static IP Address
Enable a static IP address for outgoing webhooks to allow IP whitelisting.
Overview
Webhook Relay provides a static outgoing IP address (5.161.20.156) for outgoing webhook requests. This allows you to whitelist this specific IP address in your receiving infrastructure, enhancing security and reliability.
Why use a static IP?
- Enhanced Security: Restrict incoming connections to only known, trusted IP addresses.
- Simplified Configuration: Avoid the need to update IP whitelists if the underlying infrastructure changes.
- Service Compatibility: Some services require or recommend using static IPs for integrations.
Enabling static IP
To enable the static IP feature for your webhooks:
- Navigate to your Buckets page.
- Either create a new Bucket or edit an existing one.
- In the Bucket settings page, locate the Static IP option and toggle it on.
Once enabled, all webhook forwards configured within that Bucket will originate from the IP address 5.161.20.156
.
Important Considerations
- The static IP feature is configured on a per-Bucket basis.
- If integrating with a third-party service, consult their documentation for specific instructions on whitelisting IP addresses.
