The webhook secret in Default is the single bearer secret that authenticates every incoming webhook your workspace receives. The same secret covers all of your workspace’s webhook ingestion URLs, so it lives at the workspace level instead of on each webhook.
Select Settings in the sidebar, then Webhook Secret under Workspace Settings.Only admins can open this page. It appears in the Settings panel once your workspace has a webhook secret, which Default creates with your first incoming webhook.

Who can see and rotate the secret

Because members can reveal the secret from a workflow, treat it as shared with everyone who builds workflows in your workspace.

Use the secret

Send the secret as a Bearer token in the Authorization header on requests to any of your workspace’s webhook ingestion URLs. For example, Authorization: Bearer <your-secret>. Default rejects requests without the correct secret.

View and copy the secret

Default hides the secret and shows it as dots. The steps are the same on the settings page and in the Bearer secret field of an Incoming Webhook trigger.
1

Reveal it

Select the eye icon next to the secret to reveal it.
2

Copy it

Select the copy icon to copy the secret to your clipboard. Paste it into the configuration of the system that sends your webhooks.

Rotate the secret

Rotating replaces the current secret with a new one. Use it if the secret may have been exposed. Only admins can rotate the secret. The Incoming Webhook trigger links to this page with Rotate this secret in workspace settings.
Rotating re-keys every webhook in your workspace. The current secret stops working immediately.Update every system that sends webhooks to Default with the new secret. Default rejects requests that still use the old secret.
