**Description**  
How to use basic authentication for webhooks. Our application requires basic authentication for webhook endpoints, how to configure the same in our Zoom OAuth app.

I see that there is a verification code present and the same will be sent in the REST call header but we are looking to use basic authentication(username/password)

Hi @pegasocial,

Thanks for reaching out about this!

While it’s a great suggestion, our webhooks currently only support the verification token method for verifying/authenticating the source.

If you’d like to see additional options for this, I’d encourage you to submit a feature request for this here: #feature-requests

Thanks,  
Will
