frontapp-webhooks

frontapp-webhooks is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from hookdeck/webhook-skills. It costs 71 tokens per session (1,404 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of adyen-webhooks, MIT.

A guide for receiving Front application notifications, which report changes to customer-support conversations and messages. It covers both the subscription check and the signature used to verify requests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to answer X-Front-Challenge requests, verify X-Front-Signature, and process new messages, conversation moves, assignment changes, tags, and comments.
Why use it?
It helps confirm that requests came from Front and prevents verification failures caused by changing the original request body.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

frontapp-webhooks scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 7 executable files (examples/express/src/index.js, examples/express/test/webhook.test.js, examples/fastapi/main.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Front Webhooks

When to Use This Skill

  • Setting up Front (Frontapp) application webhook handlers
  • Debugging Front X-Front-Signature verification failures
  • Responding to the Front X-Front-Challenge subscription validation request
  • Understanding Front event types (inbound_received, outbound_sent, conversation_moved, assignee_changed, tag_added, new_comment_added) and payloads

Verification (core)

Front application webhooks have no official server SDK, so verify manually. Front signs X-Front-Request-Timestamp + ":" + rawBody with HMAC-SHA256 (key = your app's signing key), base64-encoded, delivered in the X-Front-Signature header. Use the raw request body — never JSON.parse before verifying.

const crypto = require('crypto');

function verifyFrontSignature(rawBody, timestamp, signature, secret) {
  const hmac = crypto.createHmac('sha256', secret);
  hmac.update(timestamp + ':');
  hmac.update(rawBody);                          // Buffer/string of the raw HTTP body
  const expected = hmac.digest('base64');
  try {
    return crypto.timingSafeEqual(Buffer.from(signature), Buffer.from(expected));
  } catch {
    return false;                                // length mismatch = invalid
  }
}

On subscription, Front first sends a validation request carrying an X-Front-Challenge header. Reply within 10s with HTTP 200 echoing the value — {"challenge": "<value>"} (JSON), challenge=<value> (form), or the raw value (text/plain).

For complete handlers with the challenge handshake, event dispatch, and tests, see:

Common Event Types

Front webhook payloads carry the event name in the top-level type field.

Event type Triggered When
inbound_received Inbound message received
outbound_sent Outbound message sent
conversation_moved Conversation moved to another inbox
message_delivery_failed Outbound message bounced / delivery failed
conversation_archived Conversation archived
conversation_reopened Conversation reopened
conversation_deleted Conversation deleted
conversation_restored Conversation restored
conversation_snoozed Conversation snoozed
conversation_snooze_expired Snooze expired
new_comment_added Comment added to a conversation
assignee_changed Assignee changed
tag_added Tag added to a conversation
tag_removed Tag removed from a conversation
link_added Link added to a conversation
link_removed Link removed from a conversation

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
