Xophz Magic Hookshot

Enterprise-grade incoming & outgoing webhook engine, payload transformation, signature verification, and automated bridge routing for the Xophz COMPASS ecosystem.

⚡ Overview

Xophz Magic Hookshot is the centralized webhook hub and automation bridge for WordPress and the COMPASS platform. It acts as an intelligent event gateway, allowing COMPASS to seamlessly latch onto external services (GitHub, Slack, Discord, Zapier, Make, custom APIs) and internal ecosystem tools (Questbook CRM, Bomb Bag MA, XP Gamification System).

Hookshot provides robust security guarantees, exponential backoff retries, health tracking, payload mapping, and zero-downtime auto-updates for plugins via GitHub release webhooks.

✨ Key Features

📥 Incoming Webhook Gateway

• Secure REST Endpoints: Dynamic endpoints under /wp-json/xophz/v1/hookshot/incoming/{secret}.
• Verification Challenges: Built-in verification endpoint /wp-json/xophz/v1/hookshot/verify/{secret} supporting challenge-response handshakes.
• Payload Safety: Enforces maximum payload size limits (1MB default) and prevents depth loops (X-Hookshot-Depth).

📤 Outgoing Webhook Dispatcher

• Action Hook Binding: Automatically trigger webhooks when specific WordPress actions occur.
• Async Dispatching: Non-blocking background dispatches for high-concurrency environments.
• Infinite Loop Safeguard: Tracks call stack depth up to 5 levels to block recursive loops.

🛡️ Security & Authentication System

• HMAC Signature Verification:
  • Stripe Format: t={timestamp},v1={signature} with timestamp tolerance checks against replay attacks.
  • GitHub Format: Supports standard sha256= and sha1= signatures.
  • Custom Headers: Configurable signature header names (defaults to X-Hookshot-Signature).
• IP Whitelisting: Restrict incoming calls by source IP addresses (X-Forwarded-For aware).
• Rate Limiting: Custom per-webhook throughput caps backed by transients.
• Multi-Auth Support: Bearer Tokens, Basic Auth (Base64), and custom API Key headers (X-API-Key).

🌉 Automated Bridge System

Hookshot Bridges automatically turn raw incoming webhooks into executable actions across COMPASS:

🔄 Transformation & Payload Mapping

• JSONPath Mapping: Map incoming/outgoing payload fields using dot-notation ($.event, $.user.email, or static values).
• Presets: Built-in payload mapping presets for Slack, Discord, Zapier, and Make (Integromat).
• Live Preview: Preview payload transformations before persisting rules.

🔁 Resilience & Retry Engine

• Exponential Backoff: Automatic retries scheduled at 2 mins, 15 mins, 1 hr, and 6 hrs.
• Action Scheduler Integration: High-performance background scheduling with fallback to WP-Cron.
• Dead Letter Queue: Failed webhooks exceeding max retry attempts are moved to the Dead Letter Queue for inspection and manual replay.
• Log Retention: Built-in Garbage Collection (Hookshot_GC) automatically purges logs older than 30 days.

📊 Health Tracking & Monitoring

• Real-time Status: Categorizes webhooks as Healthy (Green), Degraded (Yellow, ≥10% failure rate), or Critical (Red, ≥50% failure rate).
• Degraded Action Trigger: Fires xophz_hookshot_health_degraded when failure rates spike.
• REST Dashboard API: Full suite of management endpoints under /wp-json/xophz-hookshot/v1/.

🛠️ Installation & Setup

1. Clone or extract xophz-compass-hookshot into your WordPress plugins directory:

   wp-content/plugins/xophz-compass-hookshot

2. Ensure core COMPASS plugin (xophz-compass) is activated first.
3. Activate Xophz Magic Hookshot in WordPress Admin (Plugins > Installed Plugins).
4. Access the Webhook Management interface via COMPASS ITSM Dashboard or REST API.

🧪 Developer Hooks & Actions

Hookshot provides developer actions and filters for custom integrations:

// Listen for incoming webhook dispatches
add_action( 'xophz_hookshot_incoming', function( $payload, $webhook_id ) {
    // Custom handling for incoming payload
}, 10, 2 );

// Modify outgoing payload before transmission
add_filter( 'xophz_hookshot_outgoing_payload', function( $payload, $webhook_id, $event ) {
    $payload['custom_meta'] = 'COMPASS-System';
    return $payload;
}, 10, 3 );

// Register custom bridges
add_action( 'xophz_hookshot_register_bridges', function() {
    Hookshot_Bridges::register( 'my_custom_bridge', [
        'name'        => 'Custom Automation',
        'description' => 'Triggers internal service on incoming webhook.',
        'icon'        => 'fad fa-cogs',
        'category'    => 'Custom',
        'fields'      => [ 'endpoint', 'token' ],
        'handler'     => 'my_custom_bridge_handler_callback',
    ] );
} );
