Rotate your organization’s webhook signing secret from the Webhooks page. The new secret is shown exactly once when you rotate — Tumban never displays it again, so copy it immediately. Use the secret to verify the signature on incoming webhooks; see Signature verification.

Rotate the secret

1

Open Webhooks

From the sidebar, click Webhooks.
2

Rotate the secret

In the Webhook Secret tile, click Rotate Secret. The description on the tile explains: “Used to verify incoming webhook payloads. Rotating immediately invalidates the old secret — update your server before rotating.”
3

Copy the new secret

The new secret appears once with the prompt “New secret — copy it now. It won’t be shown again.” Click Copy and store it in your secret manager.
Update your verification code before rotating, or accept a brief window where signatures will not verify. Tumban signs every new webhook with the current secret only — old secrets become inactive immediately.

Storage model

Unlike API keys (which Tumban stores only as a SHA-256 hash), the webhook secret is retained in plaintext on the server. Tumban needs the raw value on every webhook delivery to compute the HMAC signature. Because the secret is shown to you exactly once at rotation time and never reappears anywhere in the dashboard, there is no recovery path — store the value immediately when it is displayed. If you lose it, rotate again and update every verifier in lockstep.

Permissions

Rotating the webhook secret requires an admin role. Non-admins do not see the Rotate Secret control.
