We have just launched a new update to our AfterShip webhooks. We are supporting AWS API gateway with IAM authentication as a webhook receiver.
What's IAM authetication?
AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) is a web service that you can use to manage users and user permissions under your AWS account.
In simple words, developers use IAM authentication as a more secured way to receive webhooks requests from external parties. Ask your developers for more info as it goes pretty technical 🤘. Learn more about IAM authentication
How it works?
What you need to do is very straight forward, you can add your webhook URL into AfterShip settings > notifications > webhooks using the following format:
https://webhooks.aftership.com/aftership/amazon-iam?url=(their_url)&token=(token)&secret=(secret)
