Send notifications to an HTTP endpoint

This guide explains how to send the notifications of Casdoor to an HTTP endpoint of your own, for example a webhook of your application.

Learning outcomes​

  • Configure a Custom HTTP notification provider.
  • Understand the request that Casdoor sends, including the recipient.

What you need​

  • An HTTP endpoint that accepts GET or POST requests
  • Administrator access to the Casdoor admin console

Add the provider​

  1. In the Casdoor admin console, go to Identity > Providers and add a provider.

  2. Set Category to Notification and Type to Custom HTTP.

  3. Fill in the fields:

    ChampDescription
    MéthodeGET or POST
    ParameterName of the query parameter (GET) or form field (POST) that carries the message
    ContenuThe message or a template for it
    Point de terminaisonComplete HTTP or HTTPS URL that Casdoor calls

    Custom HTTP provider in Casdoor

  4. Save the provider.

Verify the result​

Click Send Testing Notification. Casdoor sends a request to the Endpoint, with the message in the parameter that Parameter names:

Request received by the endpoint

Forward the recipient​

The send-notification API accepts an optional recipient field in its body:

{
  "content": "Your message",
  "recipient": "user@example.com"
}

When the request contains a recipient, the Custom HTTP provider sends it to the Endpoint as an additional recipient parameter, a query parameter for GET or a form field for POST, next to the message. Casdoor sends the parameter only when it isn't empty.

Notification providers that can't address a recipient ignore the field.
