FusionAuth Webhooks
When to Use This Skill
- Setting up FusionAuth webhook handlers
- Debugging JWT signature verification failures
- Understanding FusionAuth event types and payloads
- Handling user, login, registration, or group events
Essential Code (USE THIS)
FusionAuth Signature Verification (JavaScript)
FusionAuth signs webhooks with a JWT in the X-FusionAuth-Signature-JWT header. The JWT contains a request_body_sha256 claim with the SHA-256 hash of the request body.
const crypto = require('crypto');
const jose = require('jose');
// Verify FusionAuth webhook signature
async function verifyFusionAuthWebhook(rawBody, signatureJwt, hmacSecret) {
if (!signatureJwt || !hmacSecret) return false;
try {
// Create key from HMAC secret
const key = new TextEncoder().encode(hmacSecret);
// Verify JWT signature and decode
const { payload } = await jose.jwtVerify(signatureJwt, key, {
algorithms: ['HS256', 'HS384', 'HS512']
});
// Calculate SHA-256 hash of request body
const bodyHash = crypto
.createHash('sha256')
.update(rawBody)
.digest('base64');
// Compare hash from JWT claim with calculated hash
return payload.request_body_sha256 === bodyHash;
} catch (err) {
console.error('JWT verification failed:', err.message);
return false;
}
}
Express Webhook Handler
const express = require('express');
const crypto = require('crypto');
const jose = require('jose');
const app = express();
// CRITICAL: Use express.raw() - FusionAuth needs raw body for signature verification
app.post('/webhooks/fusionauth',
express.raw({ type: 'application/json' }),
async (req, res) => {
const signatureJwt = req.headers['x-fusionauth-signature-jwt'];
// Verify signature
const isValid = await verifyFusionAuthWebhook(
req.body,
signatureJwt,
process.env.FUSIONAUTH_WEBHOOK_SECRET // HMAC signing key from FusionAuth
);
if (!isValid) {
console.error('FusionAuth signature verification failed');
return res.status(401).send('Invalid signature');
}
// Parse payload after verification
const event = JSON.parse(req.body.toString());
console.log(`Received event: ${event.event.type}`);
// Handle by event type
switch (event.event.type) {
case 'user.create':
console.log('User created:', event.event.user?.id);
break;
case 'user.update':
console.log('User updated:', event.event.user?.id);
break;
case 'user.login.success':
console.log('User logged in:', event.event.user?.id);
break;
case 'user.registration.create':
console.log('User registered:', event.event.user?.id);
break;
default:
console.log('Unhandled event:', event.event.type);
}
res.json({ received: true });
}
);
Python (FastAPI) Webhook Handler
import os
import hashlib
import base64
from fastapi import FastAPI, Request, HTTPException
import jwt
webhook_secret = os.environ.get("FUSIONAUTH_WEBHOOK_SECRET")
def verify_fusionauth_webhook(raw_body: bytes, signature_jwt: str, secret: str) -> bool:
if not signature_jwt or not secret:
return False
try:
# Verify and decode JWT
payload = jwt.decode(signature_jwt, secret, algorithms=['HS256', 'HS384', 'HS512'])
# Calculate SHA-256 hash of request body
body_hash = base64.b64encode(hashlib.sha256(raw_body).digest()).decode()
# Compare hash from JWT claim with calculated hash
return payload.get('request_body_sha256') == body_hash
except jwt.InvalidTokenError as e:
print(f"JWT verification failed: {e}")
return False
@app.post("/webhooks/fusionauth")
async def fusionauth_webhook(request: Request):
payload = await request.body()
signature_jwt = request.headers.get("x-fusionauth-signature-jwt")
if not verify_fusionauth_webhook(payload, signature_jwt, webhook_secret):
raise HTTPException(status_code=401, detail="Invalid signature")
# Handle event...
return {"received": True}

Add captions or subtitles to an existing single-subject talking-head video without editing the footage. Use for plain verbatim captions, cinematic captions embedded behind the subject, VFX captions, “炸/特效/酷炫字幕,” or a named identity from the 35-style catalog. Route by visual identity, not by backend engine. The quiet anchor rail is the default; embed every word only when the user explicitly wants a fully cinematic treatment. The workflow runs locally end to end, including transcription and subject matting; split multi-shot footage before applying it.
