Where to wire it in ClientNest365

Open your workspace at /app/settings/webhooks. Click + New endpoint. Paste the target URL from your automation platform (Zapier, Make, n8n) or the third-party tool's native webhook URL. Subscribe to the invoice.overdue event. Save. Your endpoint secret is shown once at creation; copy it now if you plan to verify the HMAC signature on the receiving end.

Verifying the signature

Each webhook POST carries an X-CN-Signature header. The value is sha256=<hmac> where the HMAC is computed over the raw request body using your endpoint secret. Compare with constant-time equality. Reject mismatches.
