Notion Webhooks
When to Use This Skill
- Setting up Notion webhook handlers for an internal integration
- Debugging Notion signature verification failures
- Completing the one-time
verification_tokenhandshake to activate a subscription - Handling page, comment, database, or data source events from a Notion workspace
Essential Code (USE THIS)
Notion uses HMAC-SHA256 over the raw request body with the integration's verification_token as the signing key. The signature is sent in the X-Notion-Signature header in the format sha256=<hex_digest>.
The first POST to a new subscription is a handshake: it contains a verification_token in the JSON body and has no signature. The handler must capture the token (log it, store it, surface it in your dashboard), then the developer pastes it into the Notion integration UI to activate the subscription. All subsequent deliveries are signed with that token.
