Webhooks

Apps send automated messages, known as webhooks, when a change occurs.

Our implementation does not require constant data monitoring. Using a field boundary as an example, a CNH webhook will have a trigger in place that only sends a message when there is a specified change in said boundary.

Managing Webhook Subscriptions

In the Developer Portal, users can add, update or disable Webhook Subscriptions.

• Adding a Subscription

  1. Select webhooks page from the side navigation menu.
  2. At the top of the table, select Add New Subscription.
  3. Ensure the toggle button in the top right corner is selected on Production or Stage as is appropriate. Each single clientId can have its own subscription for EventType.

• Updating a Subscription

  1. Select webhooks page from the side navigation menu.
  2. Select the subscription name on the Subscription page list.
     • While updating, the “Application Client Id” and “Event Type” fields will be uneditable.

• Enable or Disable Subscription

  1. Select webhooks page from the side navigation menu.
  2. Find your subscription in the table.
  3. Toggle the switch for that particular subscription.

The table below descibes fields used when adding or editing a webhook subscription.

Field Name	Comments
Event Type	Describes which type of event this subscription was created for. Available values include: Grower, Farm, FarmField, FieldBoundary, Task, Operation, and File.
Subscription Name	The name of the subscription.
Application Client Id	The FMIS Partner application client ID
Token	Used to validate whether the webhook request is coming from a valid Event-Grid topic. It is a custom token provided by the FMIS partner while creating the webhook subscription. It allows the FMIS partner to validate on this end if a webhook request is coming from an expected subscription or not. This token will be passed in every webhook request, in the request body.
Target Endpoint	Should be a valid application URL, which is where data will be posted. The only supported protocol is HTTPS. It will be invoked using the POST method, with the body being set to payload based on the EventType.

On creation of a new subscription, event grid will send a one time validation request to the Target Endpoint, this validation request contains the Validation Code.

A webhook should handle subscription events and respond with 200 HTTP code and the same Validation Code received in the validation request. This is to ensure that Target EndPoint is indeed a valid and working URL.

It is important to verify that the target endpoint URL is able to handle the validation request sent from the event grid before a subscription is created for any event type.

A Validation Request is sent only one time while creating or updating a subscription. If the validation request fails for any reason, the new subscription will not be created and the user will be notified onscreen.

Example

A sample validation payload is available below, along with a C# webhook implementation to handle the validation request.

Webhook Broadcast Payload Message Format

The table below contains descriptions of the different properties appearing in a webhook broadcast payload.

Property	Description
eventType	Describes what type of event this subscription has been created for. Available values are Grower, Farm, FarmField, FieldBoundary, Task, Operation, and File.
token	Token are used to validate whether webhook request is coming from valid Event-Grid topic. It is a custom token provided by FMIS partner while creating webhook subscription to allow FMIS partner to validate at their end if a webhook request is coming from expected subscription or not. This token will be passed in every webhook request in request body.
targetResource	FMIS API path which can be used for GET request data.
subject	Notification subject.
subscriptionId	Subscription-unique database identification.
messageId	Large message chunk identification.
data	Entity Information in JSON format. It will be based on event type.

API Environments

When developing an application, you rarely want to make changes and perform testing in a live environment, particularly after you've shipped your product and have a steady user base.

To that end, CNH provides two environment contexts for its API:

• Staging
• Production

The environments are identical, requiring only that you change out your connection string and authorization endpoint to connect to either.

Environment	Base URL
Staging	https://stg.api.cnhind.com/mkt/fmis/v2
Production	https://ag.api.cnhind.com/v2

It is highly recommended to abstract away the connection strings from your code to allow you to easily swap between environments with your application.
