Webhooks

The M2X Public API can deliver real-time notifications via webhooks. Subscribe to the events your integration cares about — bookings, jobs, consignments, fuel, vehicle timelines, and more — and M2X will POST a payload to your endpoint when they occur.

Advanced functionality

Webhooks are a more advanced way to integrate with M2X. Before building against them, talk to your M2X account manager about whether webhooks are the right approach for your use case.

How webhooks work

  1. You register an HTTPS endpoint to receive deliveries.
  2. M2X sends a POST request with a JSON body each time a subscribed event fires.
  3. Your endpoint responds quickly with a 2xx status to acknowledge receipt.

Available events

The full set of webhook payloads is documented in the API reference, grouped by domain:

Authenticating deliveries

When you set up a webhook, you choose how M2X authenticates each delivery to your endpoint, so your receiver can confirm the request is genuine. Three methods are supported:

  • None — no Authorization header is sent (not suitable for production use).
  • Basic — M2X sends an Authorization: Basic header built from a username and password you supply.
  • OAuth 2.0 (client credentials) — M2X fetches a token from your token endpoint and sends it as Authorization: Bearer <token>. You provide the token endpoint, client ID, and client secret (and optionally a scope and audience).
