Alibaba Cloud DevOps:Webhooks settings

Last Updated:Apr 28, 2025

Webhooks enable servers to send a POST request to a designated URL when certain events (e.g., code pushes, code reviews) occur. This mechanism can trigger CI/CD workflows, make image backups, or initiate deployments to a production environment.

Event description

Example of a Webhook endpoint

If you want to test and view how Webhook works, use a simple Echo script like the following one:

require 'webrick'
server = WEBrick::HTTPServer.new(:Port => ARGV.first)
server.mount_proc '/' do |req, res|
  puts req.body
end
trap 'INT' do
  server.shutdown
end
server.start

Save the script as print_http_body.rb, choose an unused port (for example, 8000), and start the script by running the ruby print_http_body.rb 8000 command. Specify the URL of the Webhook on Codeup: http://my.host:8000/, and then click Test Hook. You will see:

{"before":"f2e2d577fab1562a6239b82721fd9827e05fdce6","after":"eb63d0277e64684236ebf8394b919230c4b8a286"}
teambition.com - - [14/May/2019:11:11:11 EDT] "POST / HTTP/1.1" 200 0
- -> /

You can access a server that supports HTTP Basic Authentication by using a Webhook URL that includes the username and password. The URL is formated as http://userName:password@my.host:8080/project/test-job.
