Webhook Event Catalog

FrameAI fires HTTP POST events to your registered URL whenever something significant happens in the pipeline — job starts, completes, fails, a revision is detected, or a fabrication export becomes ready.

All events are signed with HMAC-SHA256. You should verify the signature before processing.

Overview

Delivery method	HTTP POST to your registered URL
Content-Type	`application/json`
Signature header	`X-FrameAI-Signature` — HMAC-SHA256 hex digest
Timestamp header	`X-FrameAI-Timestamp` — Unix seconds (for replay protection)
Retry attempts	5 (exponential back-off)
Timeout per attempt	10 seconds
Expected response	Any 2xx status — otherwise retried

Register a webhook URL

Set your webhook URL and secret when creating or updating an API token via Settings → API Keys. You can also set it programmatically on the token at creation time.

Tip: Use webhook.site or ngrok http 3000 during development to inspect live payloads.

# Example: register a webhook when creating a token
curl -X POST https://frameai-structural.polsia.app/api/tokens \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FRAMEAI_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "name":           "CI pipeline",
    "webhook_url":    "https://my-server.example.com/webhooks/frameai",
    "webhook_secret": "wh_mysecret_changeme"
  }'

Verify HMAC-SHA256 signatures

Each delivery includes two headers:

X-FrameAI-Signature — sha256=<hex>
X-FrameAI-Timestamp — Unix seconds at delivery time

The signature is computed over <timestamp>.<raw body> using your webhook_secret. Reject requests where the timestamp is more than 300 seconds old to prevent replay attacks.

// Express middleware — verify FrameAI webhook signature
const crypto = require("crypto");

function verifyFrameAISignature(req, res, next) {
  const secret    = process.env.FRAMEAI_WEBHOOK_SECRET;
  const sig       = req.headers["x-frameai-signature"] || "";
  const timestamp = req.headers["x-frameai-timestamp"] || "0";
  const rawBody   = req.rawBody; // needs express raw-body middleware

  // Replay protection: reject requests older than 5 minutes
  if (Math.abs(Date.now() / 1000 - parseInt(timestamp, 10)) > 300) {
    return res.status(401).json({ error: "Request too old — possible replay" });
  }

  const expected = "sha256=" + crypto
    .createHmac("sha256", secret)
    .update(`${timestamp}.${rawBody}`)
    .digest("hex");

  if (!crypto.timingSafeEqual(Buffer.from(sig), Buffer.from(expected))) {
    return res.status(401).json({ error: "Invalid signature" });
  }
  next();
}

// Mount with raw body capture
app.post("/webhooks/frameai",
  express.raw({ type: "application/json" }),
  (req, _res, next) => { req.rawBody = req.body.toString("utf8"); next(); },
  verifyFrameAISignature,
  (req, res) => {
    const event = JSON.parse(req.rawBody);
    console.log("Received:", event.event, event.data);
    res.json({ ok: true });
  }
);

Retry policy

If your endpoint returns a non-2xx status or times out (10 s), FrameAI retries with exponential back-off. After 5 failed attempts the event is written to a dead-letter log visible in your Studio dashboard.

Attempt 1

Immediate

Attempt 2

1 min

Attempt 3

5 min

Attempt 4

30 min

Attempt 5

2 hr

Idempotent handlers required. Due to retries, your handler may receive the same event more than once. Always dedup on data.job_id / data.project_id + event before taking action.

Idempotency key handling

Each delivery includes a unique delivery_id field in the root payload. Store processed delivery IDs and skip duplicates.

const processed = new Set(); // use Redis / DB in production

app.post("/webhooks/frameai", /* ...verify... */, (req, res) => {
  const event = JSON.parse(req.rawBody);

  if (processed.has(event.delivery_id)) {
    return res.json({ ok: true, skipped: true }); // already handled
  }
  processed.add(event.delivery_id);

  // handle event.event ...
  res.json({ ok: true });
});
