Lokalise Webhooks Events

Overview

Lokalise webhooks push real-time notifications to your endpoint when translation events occur — keys created, translations updated, files uploaded, contributors added. This skill covers creating webhooks via the API, handling each event type, verifying webhook secrets, and routing events to appropriate handlers.

Prerequisites

• Lokalise project with admin or manager role (required for webhook creation)
• HTTPS endpoint accessible from the internet (Lokalise rejects HTTP URLs)
• Express.js or equivalent HTTP framework
• Webhook secret for payload verification (generated during webhook creation)

Instructions

1. Create a Webhook via the API

Register your endpoint with Lokalise using POST /projects/{project_id}/webhooks:

curl -X POST "https://api.lokalise.com/api2/projects/${PROJECT_ID}/webhooks" \
  -H "X-Api-Token: ${LOKALISE_API_TOKEN}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "url": "https://your-app.example.com/webhooks/lokalise",
    "branch": "main",
    "events": [
      "project.key.added",
      "project.key.modified",
      "project.translation.updated",
      "project.translation.proofread",
      "project.imported",
      "project.exported",
      "project.contributor.added",
      "project.contributor.deleted"
    ],
    "event_lang_map": [
      {"event": "project.translation.updated", "lang_iso_codes": ["en", "fr", "de"]}
    ]
  }'

The response includes a secret field — store this securely. You need it to verify incoming payloads.

To scope webhooks to specific languages, use event_lang_map. This prevents noise from languages you do not manage.

2. Know the Event Types

Event	Fires When	Key Payload Fields
project.key.added	New key created	key.key_id, key.key_name, key.platforms
project.key.modified	Key name, tags, or metadata changed	key.key_id, key.key_name, key.modifications
