# Introducing Webhooks AutoConfig

**[Svix Blog](https://daily.dev/sources/svix)** · 4 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Svix announces Webhooks AutoConfig, a declarative way to set up and manage webhook endpoints directly from code instead of through a management UI. Receivers use the Svix SDK to declare their endpoint configuration and event types, and calling subscribe() creates or updates the endpoint automatically, keeping it in sync with deployed code. It also handles signature verification out of the box, removing the need for extra deployments when the signing secret changes. The feature is free on all Svix plans and available across all SDKs.

## Questions this post answers

### How does Svix Webhooks AutoConfig keep webhook endpoint configuration in sync with code?

AutoConfig lets receivers declare their endpoint URL, event types, and configuration token directly in code using the Svix SDK, then calling subscribe() creates or updates the endpoint programmatically. This removes the need to manually edit settings in the webhooks management UI, and subscribe() can run as part of deployment, startup, or a CI/CD step so the endpoint always matches the deployed code.

_Developers wiring up webhook receivers can track new integration patterns like this on daily.dev._

### Does Svix AutoConfig handle webhook signature verification automatically?

Yes, the AutoConfig instance already contains the endpoint signing secret, so it can verify incoming webhook signatures without any additional deployment. Calling webhook.verify() with the request body and headers inside the handler confirms authenticity, eliminating the earlier two-deployment problem where the secret had to be wired in after endpoint creation.

_Anyone hardening webhook receivers against spoofed requests can follow updates like this on daily.dev._
