• Open your Xano project dashboard.
• Head over to the "API" section on the left-hand sidebar.
• Click on "Webhooks" to get to the webhook management interface.

• Hit the "Add Webhook" button.
• Give your new webhook a name and a description.
• Set the endpoint that the webhook will listen to.

• After creating the webhook, scroll down to the "Security" section on the webhook configuration page.
• Turn on the security features by toggling the switch.

• Find the "IP Whitelisting" option in the Security section.
• Click on "Add IP".
• Enter the IP addresses that are allowed to send requests to this webhook.

• Go to the "Basic Authentication" settings within the Security section.
• Create a username and password for your webhook.
• Make sure any requests to this webhook include the correct authentication headers.

• Look for the "HMAC" settings in the Security section.
• Toggle the HMAC option to enabled.
• Copy the generated secret key, which will be used to validate incoming requests.
• Implement the HMAC algorithm in your client application to sign requests using the secret key.

• Use a tool like Postman to send test requests to your webhook endpoint.
• Make sure your requests include all necessary security headers (e.g., IP address, Basic Auth credentials, HMAC signature).
• Verify that only authenticated and properly signed requests are accepted by your webhook endpoint.

• Go back to the "Webhooks" section in your Xano dashboard.
• Click on the "Logs" tab for your webhook to monitor incoming requests and their security status.
• Regularly review logs to ensure compliance and catch any unauthorized attempts.

Following these steps will help you effectively use Xano’s built-in webhook security features.
