Notification configuration API

HCP Terraform can send notifications for run state transitions and workspace events. You can specify a destination URL, request type, and what events will trigger the notification. Each workspace can have up to 20 notification configurations, and they apply to all runs for that workspace.

Interacting with notification configurations requires admin access to the relevant workspace. (More about permissions.)

Note: Speculative plans and workspaces configured with Local execution mode do not support notifications.

Notification triggers

Notifications are sent in response to triggers related to workspace events, and can be defined at workspace and team levels. You can specify workspace events in the triggers array attribute.

Workspace notification triggers

The following triggers are available for workspace notifications.

Display Name	Value	Description
Created	`"run:created"`	A run is created and enters the Pending stage
Planning	`"run:planning"`	A run acquires the lock and starts to execute.
Needs Attention	`"run:needs_attention"`	A plan has changes and Terraform requires user input to continue. This input may include approving the plan or a policy override.
Applying	`"run:applying"`	A run enters the Apply stage, where Terraform makes the infrastructure changes described in the plan.
Completed	`"run:completed"`	A run completes successfully.
Errored	`"run:errored"`	A run terminates early due to error or cancellation.
Drifted	`"assessment:drifted"`	HCP Terraform detected configuration drift. This option is only available if you enabled drift detection for the workspace.
Checks Failed	`"assessment:check_failure"`	One or more continuous validation checks did not pass. This option is only available if you enabled drift detection for the workspace.
Health Assessment Failed	`"assessment:failed"`	A health assessment failed. This option is only available if you enable health assessments for the workspace.
Auto Destroy Reminder	`"workspace:auto_destro_reminder"`	An automated workspace destroy run is imminent.
Auto Destroy Results	`"workspace:auto_destroy_run_results"`	HCP Terraform attempted an automated workspace destroy run.

Team notification triggers

The following triggers are available for team notifications.

Display Name	Value	Description
Change Request	`"team:change_request"`	HCP Terraform sent a change request to a workspace that the specified team has explicit access to.

Notification payload

The notification is an HTTP POST request with a detailed payload. The content depends on the type of notification.

For Slack and Microsoft Teams notifications, the payload conforms to the respective webhook API and results in a notification message with informational attachments. Refer to Slack Notification Payloads and Microsoft Teams Notification Payloads for examples. For generic notifications, the payload varies based on whether the notification contains information about run events or workspace events.

Run notification payload

Run events include detailed information about a specific run, including the time it began and the associated workspace and organization. Generic notifications for run events contain the following information:

Name	Type	Description
`payload_version`	number	Always "1".
`notification_configuration_id`	string	The ID of the configuration associated with this notification.

`organization_name`	string	Human-readable name of the run's organization.
`notifications`	array	List of events which caused this notification to be sent, with each event represented by an object. At present, this is always one event, but in the future HCP Terraform may roll up several notifications for a run into a single request.
`notifications[].message`	string	Human-readable reason for the notification.
`notifications[].trigger`	string	Value of the trigger which caused the notification to be sent.
`notifications[].run_status`	string	Status of the run at the time of notification.
`notifications[].run_updated_at`	string	Timestamp of the run's update.

Notification authenticity

If a token is configured, HCP Terraform provides an HMAC signature on all "generic" notification requests, using the token as the key. This is sent in the X-TFE-Notification-Signature header. The digest algorithm used is SHA-512. Notification target servers should verify the source of the HTTP request by computing the HMAC of the request body using the same shared secret, and dropping any requests with invalid signatures.

Sample Ruby code for verifying the HMAC:

token = SecureRandom.hex
hmac = OpenSSL::HMAC.hexdigest(OpenSSL::Digest.new("sha512"), token, @request.body)
fail "Invalid HMAC" if hmac != @request.headers["X-TFE-Notification-Signature"]

Notification verification and delivery responses

When saving a configuration with enabled set to true, or when using the verify API, HCP Terraform sends a verification request to the configured URL. The response to this request is stored and available in the delivery-responses array of the notification-configuration resource.

Configurations cannot be enabled if the verification request fails. Success is defined as an HTTP response with status code of 2xx. Configurations with destination_type email can only be verified manually, they do not require an HTTP response.

The most recent response is stored in the delivery-responses array.

Each delivery response has several fields:

Name	Type	Description
`body`	string	Response body (may be truncated).
`code`	string	HTTP status code, e.g. `400`.
`headers`	object	All HTTP headers received, represented as an object with keys for each header name (lowercased) and an array of string values (most arrays will be size one).
`sent-at`	date	The UTC timestamp when the notification was sent.
`successful`	bool	Whether HCP Terraform considers this response to be successful.
`url`	string	The URL to which the request was sent.

Create a notification configuration

POST /workspaces/:workspace_id/notification-configurations

Parameter	Description
`:workspace_id`	The ID of the workspace to list configurations for. Obtain this from the workspace settings or the Show Workspace endpoint.

Status	Response	Reason
201	JSON API document (`type: "notification-configurations"`)	Successfully created a notification configuration
400	JSON API error object	Unable to complete verification request to destination URL
404	JSON API error object	Workspace not found, or user unauthorized to perform action
422	JSON API error object	Malformed request body (missing attributes, wrong types, etc.)

Request body

This POST endpoint requires a JSON object with the following properties as a request payload.

Properties without a default value are required.

If enabled is set to true, a verification request will be sent before saving the configuration. If this request receives no response or the response is not successful (HTTP 2xx), the configuration will not save.

Key path	Type	Default	Description
`data.type`	string		Must be `"notification-configuration"`.
`data.attributes.destination-type`	string		Type of notification payload to send. Valid values are `"generic"`, `"email"`, `"slack"` or `"microsoft-teams"`.
`data.attributes.enabled`	bool	`false`	Disabled configurations will not send any notifications.
`data.attributes.name`	string		Human-readable name for the configuration.
`data.attributes.token`	string or null	`null`	Optional write-only secure token, which can be used at the receiving server to verify request authenticity. See Notification Authenticity for more details.
`data.attributes.triggers`	array	`[]`	Array of triggers for which this configuration will send notifications. See Notification Triggers for more details and a list of allowed values.
`data.attributes.url`	string		HTTP or HTTPS URL to which notification requests will be made, only for configurations with `"destination_type:"` `"slack"`, `"microsoft-teams"` or `"generic"`
`data.relationships.users`	array		Array of users part of the organization, only for configurations with `"destination_type:"` `"email"`
