Dispute webhooks can be configured to receive automated notifications when disputes are created, updated and closed.

The webhook notification will be sent on all the URLs added and enabled under the dispute webhook. Merchants can add new URLs and enable or disable existing URLs for refund webhook at any point in time and it will be reflected instantaneously.

Compute Signature and Verify

The signature must be used to verify if the request has not been tampered with. To verify the signature at your end, you will need your Cashfree PG secret key along with the payload. Timestamp is present in the header x-webhook-timestamp

timestamp := 1617695238078;  
signedPayload := $timestamp.$payload;
expectedSignature := Base64Encode(HMACSHA256($signedPayload, $merchantSecretKey));```
