segment-webhooks
Receive and verify Twilio Segment webhooks from the Webhooks (Actions) and classic Webhooks destinations. Use when setting up a Segment webhook endpoint, verifying the X-Signature header (HMAC-SHA1 hex with the shared secret), debugging Segment signature verification failures on batched deliveries, or handling Segment spec calls like track, identify, page, screen, group, and alias.

# Segment Webhooks
## When to Use This Skill
- How do I receive Segment webhooks (Webhooks (Actions) or classic Webhooks destination)?
- How do I verify the Segment `X-Signature` webhook header?
- Why does Segment signature verification fail when batching is enabled?
- How do I handle Segment `track`, `identify`, `page`, `screen`, `group`, and `alias` calls?
## Verification (core)
Signing is **optional**. When you set a **Shared Secret** on the destination, Segment sends `X-Signature`: a **hex-encoded HMAC-SHA1** of the request body keyed with that secret. No timestamp, no prefix. Verify against the **raw body**.
**Batching caveat:** when batching is enabled, the body is a JSON array but Segment signs **only the first event** (`JSON.stringify(batch[0])`), not the whole body. A raw-body HMAC check fails for every batched delivery, so fall back to signing the first element. Only that first event is authenticated.
```javascript
const crypto = require('crypto');
function verifySegmentSignature(rawBody, signature, secret) {
if (!signature || !secret) return false;
const matches = (content) => {
const expected = crypto.createHmac('sha1', secret).update(content, 'utf8').digest('hex');
try {
return crypto.timingSafeEqual(Buffer.from(signature), Buffer.from(expected));
} catch {
return false; // length mismatch
}
};
if (matches(rawBody)) return true; // single event: signature covers the raw body
try {
const parsed = JSON.parse(rawBody); // batch: Segment signs only the first event
return Array.isArray(parsed) && parsed.length > 0 && matches(JSON.stringify(parsed[0]));
} catch {
return false;
}
}
```
> **For complete handlers with tests**, see [examples/express/](examples/express/), [examples/nextjs/](examples/nextjs/), [examples/fastapi/](examples/fastapi/). The FastAPI example slices the first event's exact bytes from the raw body instead of re-serializing.
## Common Event Types
Segment forwards [Segment spec](https://segment.com/docs/connections/spec/) calls. Dispatch on the payload's `type` field:
| `type` | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| `track` | User action; name in `event`, data in `properties` |
| `identify` | User traits in `traits` |
| `page` | Web page view; `name` and `properties` (path, url, referrer) |
| `screen` | Mobile screen view; `name`, `properties` |
| `group` | User joined a group/account; `groupId`, `traits` |
| `alias` | Merges identities; `previousId` → `userId` |
| `delete` | Classic Webhooks destination only: user deletion request notification |
With Webhooks (Actions), the **Data** mapping defaults to the whole event (`$.`); a custom mapping can change the body shape, so `type` may be absent.
> **For full payloads**, see [references/overview.md](references/overview.md) and [Segment's Webhooks (Actions) docs](https://www.twilio.com/docs/segment/connections/destinations/catalog/actions-webhook).
## Important Headers
| Header | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| `X-Signature` | HMAC-SHA1 hex of the body (or of the first event in a batch); only sent when a Shared Secret is set |
| `Content-Type` | `application/json` |
| `User-Agent` | `Segment.io/1.0` (classic destination) |
## Environment Variables
```bash
SEGMENT_SHARED_SECRET=your_shared_secret # Destination Settings → Shared Secret
```
## Local Development
```bash
# Start tunnel (no account needed)
npx hookdeck-cli listen 3000 segment --path /webhooks/segment
```

## 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 (use Segment's `messageId`)
- [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
