Octopus Easy Mode - Runbook Webhooks

Matthew Casperson’s post demonstrates how Octopus Cloud runbooks can be triggered externally through webhooks to automate ad-hoc and maintenance tasks. Using the Octopus AI Assistant Chrome extension, users create a Script project named “23. Script App with Runbook Webhooks,” add a runbook containing a script that logs “Runbook triggered by webhook,” and configure a webhook trigger for it. Because the AI Assistant does not accept or retain supplied secrets, it automatically generates a webhook secret that users must replace with their own value, while Octopus API keys can also authenticate webhook calls. The resulting webhook endpoint can be invoked with a POST request, including the webhook secret in the X-Octopus-Webhook-Secret header, to execute the runbook.
