Webhook Payloads

Context variables available in webhook nodes and the data Paladin sends after a call

Paladin executes webhook nodes asynchronously after a workflow run completes. You configure the target URL, HTTP method, headers, and payload template directly in the workflow definition.

---

How webhooks work#

A call completes (or a run finishes)
Paladin executes any webhook nodes in the workflow asynchronously
The payload template is rendered with the run's context and sent as a JSON POST (or your configured method) to your endpoint
Non-200 responses are logged but do not block or retry by default (configure retry_config to change this)

---

Payload context variables#

The following variables are available in your payload_template using double-brace syntax (e.g. {{workflow_run_id}}):

Variable	Type	Description
`workflow_run_id`	integer	ID of the completed run
`workflow_run_name`	string	Name of the run
`workflow_id`	integer	ID of the workflow
`workflow_name`	string	Name of the workflow
`campaign_id`	integer \| null	ID of the campaign this run belongs to (null for ad-hoc runs)
`call_time`	string	ISO-8601 UTC timestamp of when the run was created
`initial_context`	object	Context passed when the call was initiated
`gathered_context`	object	Data extracted during the call by agent nodes
`cost_info`	object	Call cost breakdown
`annotations`	object	QA analysis results (if a `qa` node is configured)
`recording_url`	string \| null	Public download URL for the call recording
`transcript_url`	string \| null	Public download URL for the call transcript

Example payload template#

json

{
  "run_id": "{{workflow_run_id}}",
  "customer": "{{initial_context.customer_name}}",
  "outcome": "{{gathered_context.resolution}}",
  "recording": "{{recording_url}}"
}

---

Authentication#

Webhook requests support the following authentication methods, configured via a stored credential:

Type	Description
`NONE`	No authentication
`API_KEY`	Sends the key in a custom header (e.g. `X-API-Key`)
`BEARER_TOKEN`	Sends `Authorization: Bearer <token>`
`BASIC_AUTH`	HTTP Basic authentication (username + password)
`CUSTOM_HEADER`	Any custom header key-value pair

---

Receiving webhooks#

Your endpoint should:

Accept POST requests with Content-Type: application/json
Respond with a 2xx status code promptly (within 30 seconds)
Handle duplicate deliveries idempotently (retries may deliver the same payload more than once)

Minimal example receiver (Python)#

python

from fastapi import FastAPI, Request

app = FastAPI()

@app.post("/webhook/paladin")
async def handle_paladin_webhook(request: Request):
    payload = await request.json()
    run_id = payload.get("run_id")
    outcome = payload.get("outcome")
    # process the call result...
    return {"status": "ok"}
