Key takeaways
- Adaptive’s new outbound webhooks let security teams trigger automations when users fail phishing simulations, fall behind on training, or hit other risk-related events, with signed JSON payloads delivered to an HTTPS endpoint within seconds.
- Admins can register an HTTPS destination, choose specific events from categories including phishing simulation, security training, and risk, then narrow delivery further with filters so only relevant cases are sent.
- The feature works with any tool that accepts HTTPS webhooks, including Tines, Splunk, Sumo Logic, ServiceNow, Tray.ai, and custom-built automation systems.
- Custom authentication headers allow Adaptive to send events to endpoints that require their own auth scheme, making it easier to fit webhooks into existing SOAR, SIEM, and internal workflows.
- Adaptive can act as an event source alongside other security tooling, and when combined with Groups it can trigger events when a user joins or leaves a risk-based group—enabling automations that native integrations can’t express.
- Setup is done in the admin console by creating an endpoint, entering the destination URL, selecting events, adding filters or custom headers, and sending a test event before going live.
For many security teams, when an employee fails a phishing simulation or falls behind on assigned training, there are critical automations that should be triggered. The faster your other tools hear about these events, the faster your risk can be reduced.
Today, we're excited to release outbound webhooks in the Adaptive platform.
What's in Outbound Webhooks
Register an HTTPS endpoint, pick the events you care about, and Adaptive delivers a signed JSON payload within seconds of each event firing.
The event catalog spans from phishing simulation to security training to risk and more, covering the moments that often drive the most downstream action. Simply subscribe to exactly the events you want, filter them down to the specific cases that matter, and Adaptive delivers only those.
How It Fits Into Your Workflow
Outbound webhooks work with any tool that accepts an HTTPS webhook: whether you use software like Tines, Splunk, Sumo Logic, ServiceNow, Tray.ai, or your own custom automation. Custom auth headers mean you can point Adaptive at endpoints that expect their own authentication, so it slots into the tooling your team already runs.
Adaptive becomes an event source in your SOAR or SIEM alongside everything else you automate against. Pair webhooks with Groups and you can fire an event when a user joins or leaves a group built on multiple risk criteria, which opens up automation that native integrations can't express on their own. Want a custom alert in Discord, Teams, or anywhere else when someone goes overdue? Route the event through your automation layer and send it wherever your team actually watches.
Outbound Webhooks are Live
Head to the admin console, open your integration settings, and create your first endpoint: set the destination URL, choose your events, add any filters or custom headers, and send a test event before you go live.
