Merchants can implement a webhook to receive notifications about the final status of their payouts. This allows automatic reconciliation and status updates within your system once Bamboo completes the payout.

💡
Notifications are sent only for the following statuses: Held, Paid, Declined, and Rejected.

Supported Statuses

Status	Code	Description
`HELD`	`7`	The payout is under manual review by the Compliance team.
`PAID`	`1`	The payout has been successfully processed. This is a final status.
`DECLINED`	`8`	The payout was declined due to structural validation or Compliance rules.
`REJECTED`	`4`	The payout was rejected. Possible reasons include invalid bank account data or exceeded limits.

For a complete list of payout states, refer to the Payout Status guide.

Authentication and Signature

Each notification sent by Bamboo includes a digital signature in the request header.
The merchant must validate this signature to ensure the message’s authenticity and prevent tampering.

Property	Type	Description
Method	`POST`	All webhook notifications use the HTTP POST method.
Content-Type	`application/json`	The request body is formatted in JSON.
Authentication	Header signature	HMAC SHA-256 generated using the merchant’s private key.
Response	HTTP Status Code	`200 OK` confirms successful processing. Any other code triggers retries.

Signature validation example

var key = merchantSecretKey;
var receivedData = country + amount + currency + reference + payoutType + payoutId; // dateSent header
var expectedSignature = CryptoJS.HmacSHA256(receivedData, key).toString(CryptoJS.enc.Hex);

if (expectedSignature === receivedSignature)
  console.log("Signature is valid");
else
  console.log("Invalid signature");

⚠️
Always validate the signature using your private key before processing any notification.
Take the data from the body of the webhook message.
