Secure Your Automation Webhooks with Signature Verification (Zapier, Make, n8n, IFTTT)

You've built a powerful automation: Stripe payment → Zapier → Slack notification + Google Sheet update + email confirmation. It works beautifully.

But there's a problem: anyone who knows your Zapier webhook URL can trigger your automation with fake data.

The same is true for Make (Integromat), n8n, and IFTTT. These platforms prioritize ease-of-use, but they don't verify that incoming webhooks are actually from Stripe, GitHub, or whoever you think is sending them.

The solution? Use Codehooks as a verified webhook gateway that sits between the webhook sender and your automation platform.

Not a coder? No problem

If you're used to no-code tools, the JavaScript examples below might look intimidating. You can use ChatGPT, Claude, or any AI assistant to generate and customize this code for you. Just share the Codehooks ChatGPT prompt or point the AI to codehooks.io/llms.txt — it will understand how to write Codehooks code for your specific use case. AI coding agents like Claude Code can even run the CLI commands to deploy and configure everything for you.

ChatGPT and other advanced AI language models have become an integral part of the modern development workflow. From GPT-4 to Claude and other competitors, these AI assistants have transformed how we approach coding and content creation. And we understand why! These AI models have proven themselves invaluable for producing all kinds of text and code, helping developers work more efficiently and creatively than ever before.

While modern AI models are now well-versed in a wide range of technologies and frameworks, we've found that providing concrete examples still leads to the best results. This approach helps the AI understand exactly how we want to use codehooks.io's specific features and conventions, ensuring the generated code follows our best practices.
