🔑 Webhook Token Management

WATA uses token-based authentication to secure webhook endpoints, this token is automatically generated by WATA the first time the web server starts:

  1. Each webhook request must include a valid token in the URL (e.g., /webhook?token=YOUR_TOKEN)
  2. This token is securely generated and stored with strong encryption. (see App Secret Configuration)
  3. Manage your webhook token with the watawebtoken command

Command Reference:​

  • View your current token:

    watawebtoken

  • Generate a new token:

    watawebtoken --new

This will generate a new token and update the persistent storage.

Security Features:​

  • All tokens are encrypted before storage
  • File permissions are restricted to the owner only
  • IP address filtering adds an additional layer of security
