PagerDuty webhooks

Incident triggered, acknowledged, escalated, resolved, and service or priority changes.

Events

  • incident.triggered
  • incident.acknowledged
  • incident.resolved
  • incident.priority_updated

Signature

Header X-PagerDuty-Signature with v1=<hex>, possibly several. HMAC-SHA256 of the raw body with the webhook subscription secret.

✓ A bin checks PagerDuty signatures: add the webhook subscription secret under Signature verification (PagerDuty).

Check a PagerDuty signature with the free tool (use the GitHub preset).

Retries

PagerDuty retries with backoff for a limited time and disables a subscription after repeated failures.

See a retry schedule in the calculator.
