To create a webhook

The following put-webhook example creates a webhook for a GitHub version 1 source action. After you create the webhook, you must use the register-webhook-with-third-party command to register it.

aws codepipeline put-webhook \
    --cli-input-json file://webhook_json.json \
    --region "eu-central-1"

Contents of webhook_json.json:

{
    "webhook": {
        "name": "my-webhook",
        "targetPipeline": "pipeline_name",
        "targetAction": "source_action_name",
        "filters": [
            {
                "jsonPath": "$.ref",
                "matchEquals": "refs/heads/{Branch}"
            }
        ],
        "authentication": "GITHUB_HMAC",
        "authenticationConfiguration": {
            "SecretToken": "secret"
        }
    }
}

Output:

{
    "webhook": {
        "url": "https://webhooks.domain.com/trigger111111111EXAMPLE11111111111111111",
        "definition": {
            "authenticationConfiguration": {
                "SecretToken": "secret"
            },
            "name": "my-webhook",
            "authentication": "GITHUB_HMAC",
            "targetPipeline": "pipeline_name",
            "targetAction": "Source",
            "filters": [
                {
                    "jsonPath": "$.ref",
                    "matchEquals": "refs/heads/{Branch}"
                }
            ]
        },
        "arn": "arn:aws:codepipeline:eu-central-1:123456789012:webhook:my-webhook"
    },
    "tags": [
        {
            "key": "Project",
            "value": "ProjectA"
        }
    ]
}
