# Facebook Webhooks
Facebook webhooks are delivered through the **Meta Graph API** and are shared by
Facebook Pages, Instagram, Messenger, WhatsApp, and other Meta products. They do
**not** follow the Standard Webhooks spec.
> **Using WhatsApp?** The WhatsApp Business Platform shares this exact Meta
> mechanism but has its own events, payloads, and setup — use the dedicated
> [whatsapp-webhooks](https://github.com/hookdeck/webhook-skills/tree/main/skills/whatsapp-webhooks)
> skill. This skill covers Facebook Pages, Instagram, and Messenger. The shared
> handshake + `X-Hub-Signature-256` algorithm is documented once, canonically, in
> [references/verification.md](references/verification.md).
## When to Use This Skill
- How do I receive Facebook (Meta Graph API) webhooks?
- How do I complete the Facebook GET verification handshake (hub.challenge)?
- How do I verify Facebook webhook signatures with X-Hub-Signature-256?
- Why is my Facebook webhook signature verification failing?
- How do I handle Page `feed`, `mention`, Instagram `comments`, or Messenger `messages` events?
## Two Requests, Two Jobs
Facebook uses **one endpoint** for two different HTTP methods:
1. **`GET` — verification handshake (one-time, on registration).** Meta sends
`hub.mode=subscribe`, `hub.verify_token`, and `hub.challenge` as query
params. If `hub.verify_token` matches the Verify Token you set in the App
Dashboard, echo back `hub.challenge` as a `200` plain-text response.
2. **`POST` — event delivery.** Meta sends a JSON body `{ object, entry[] }`
and signs it with `X-Hub-Signature-256`.
## Verification (core)
Meta signs the **raw** request body with HMAC-SHA256 keyed on your **App
Secret** and sends the digest in `X-Hub-Signature-256` as `sha256=<hex>`. Verify
over the raw bytes **before** JSON parsing — Meta signs an escaped-unicode form
of the payload, so a re-serialized JSON string will not match. (The legacy
`X-Hub-Signature` header carries SHA-1 — prefer the SHA-256 header.)
Node:
```javascript
const crypto = require('crypto');
function verify(rawBody, signatureHeader, appSecret) {
const [algo, sig] = (signatureHeader || '').split('=');
if (algo !== 'sha256' || !sig) return false;
const expected = crypto.createHmac('sha256', appSecret).update(rawBody).digest('hex');
try {
return crypto.timingSafeEqual(Buffer.from(sig, 'hex'), Buffer.from(expected, 'hex'));
} catch {
return false;
}
}
```
Python:
```python
import hmac, hashlib
def verify(raw_body: bytes, signature_header: str, app_secret: str) -> bool:
algo, _, sig = (signature_header or "").partition("=")
if algo != "sha256" or not sig:
return False
expected = hmac.new(app_secret.encode(), raw_body, hashlib.sha256).hexdigest()
return hmac.compare_digest(sig, expected)
```

## Common Event Types
Facebook events are **(object, field) pairs**, not dotted names. The top-level
`object` names the product; each `entry[].changes[].field` names what changed.
| Object | Field | Triggered When |
|--------|-------|----------------|
| `page` | `feed` | Post, comment, like, or reaction on the Page |
| `page` | `mention` | The Page is mentioned in a post or comment |
| `page` | `messages` | A person sends a message to the Page (Messenger) |
| `instagram` | `comments` | A comment is added to an Instagram media object |
| `instagram` | `mentions` | The Instagram account is @mentioned |
| `user` | `feed` | An update is posted to the user's feed |
| `permissions` | — | A user grants or revokes a permission |
> **For the full list**, see [Meta Webhooks Reference](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/webhooks/reference).
## Payload Structure
```json
{
"object": "page",
"entry": [
{
"id": "<page-id>",
"time": 1458692752,
"changes": [
{ "field": "feed", "value": { "item": "comment", "verb": "add" } }
]
}
]
}
```
- A single POST can **batch up to 1000 updates** across `entry[]` — always
iterate `entry[]` and handle each individually.
- Messenger deliveries carry a `messaging` array on each entry instead of
`changes`.
- Respond `200 OK` quickly. Failed deliveries are retried immediately, then with
decreasing frequency for up to **36 hours**, after which they are dropped.
## Important Headers
| Header | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| `X-Hub-Signature-256` | HMAC SHA-256 of the raw body, `sha256=<hex>` (use this) |
| `X-Hub-Signature` | Legacy HMAC SHA-1 signature (avoid) |
## Environment Variables
```bash
FACEBOOK_APP_SECRET=your_app_secret # App Dashboard → Settings → Basic → App Secret
FACEBOOK_VERIFY_TOKEN=your_verify_token # A string you choose; must match the Dashboard Verify Token
```
## Local Development
```bash
# Start tunnel (no account needed)
npx hookdeck-cli listen 3000 facebook --path /webhooks/facebook
```
Use the tunnel URL as the **Callback URL** in App Dashboard → Webhooks. Note:
apps in **Development mode** only receive test notifications, and Page
subscriptions also require the `pages_manage_metadata` permission granted via
`POST /{page-id}/subscribed_apps`.

## Recommended: webhook-handler-patterns
We recommend installing the [webhook-handler-patterns](https://github.com/hookdeck/webhook-skills/tree/main/skills/webhook-handler-patterns) skill alongside this one for handler sequence, idempotency, error handling, and retry logic. Key references (open on GitHub):
- [Handler sequence](https://github.com/hookdeck/webhook-skills/blob/main/skills/webhook-handler-patterns/references/handler-sequence.md) — Verify first, parse second, handle idempotently third
- [Idempotency](https://github.com/hookdeck/webhook-skills/blob/main/skills/webhook-handler-patterns/references/idempotency.md) — Prevent duplicate processing (Meta batches and retries)
- [Error handling](https://github.com/hookdeck/webhook-skills/blob/main/skills/webhook-handler-patterns/references/error-handling.md) — Return codes, logging, dead letter queues
- [Retry logic](https://github.com/hookdeck/webhook-skills/blob/main/skills/webhook-handler-patterns/references/retry-logic.md) — Provider retry schedules, backoff patterns
