I am trying to get a simple web hook to work using ASP.Net (not PHP or Ruby). I have set up the hook thusly:
When I click Verify, a 'Verification Requested' popup appears momentarily. However, no request is detected by the break point in the Page_Load method of my web site. I can throw the exact same URL at a browser and get a Page_Load, so what am I missing? And in anticipation of that, another question... The documentation for the validation operation simply says:
| http://localhost:50113/OneBug.aspx | item.create | inactive |
"code": The verification code. What exactly is "The verification code"? Anything I want? Would it be possible for you to provide a complete real-world example using actual values, and not assuming a foreknowledge of something like PHP, so that I might be able to extrapolate how to integrate with a Windows server environment. Thanks

I would start by verifying you've provided an FQDN as the hook target; if you give Podio localhost as the address to hit you're not going to see many requests reaching your server ;)
The 'code' parameter in the hook verification POSTed to your server is the code you supply in the 'validate' call back to the Podio server:
The flow then looks like this:
- Register Webhook with Podio
- Podio POSTs to URL supplied as web hook endpoint in step 1 with the below body:
- {type:'hook.verify', 'hook_id': $id, code: '$someOneTimeToken' }
- Take the code param from 2.1 and make a POST to the url of '/hook/{hook_id}/verify/validate' with the body
- { code '$2.1code' }
Your hook should now be validated

Hi Nick,
I am still stuck on the first point. Yes, duh, I can't expect PODIO to know what localhost is, so I wrote a one line ASP web app that I have deployed on my test server. While I can hit it from anywhere else I have tried, PODIO fails to ping my server. Here is the URL now: http://ftlwstevedie01.eng.citrite.net/obutils/Reloc.aspx
As I said, I tried this from several machines, in both the citrite and eng domans, and all in other cases it worked, yet when I click Verify web hook from PODIO, there is no request detected. What else am I missing?
Thanks,
-Steve

Always best to start with the simple things, I've certainly done similar stuff before and needed it pointed it out to me :)
I'm not in a position to test right now, but none of my systems that rely on hooks have thrown any errors regarding validation, and when I try and access the URL you've provided I receive a timeout on DNS lookup and am unable to access the server. It looks like that hostname is not accessible from outside your network? I tried from both Google and my university's cluster with no success. I imagine it's the same for Podio's servers, and the reason you're never seeing a POST is that one is never reaching you.
Cheers,
Nick

OK, it is starting to become a little clearer. Yes, I suspect you are correct--PODIO is not able to access our network. Can you ping [ftlwstevedie01.eng.citrite.net], or my IP directly: [10.15.36.164]?
Thanks,

Well, that kind of defeats the purpose. I want to develop an ASP.Net application that talks both ways with PODIO, but it appears that I cannot do this because PODIO cannot talk to a server within the citrite domain. Bummer. So, do I tell my manager that it is just not possible or might you have another suggestion as wo how we can integrate internal Citrix tools with PODIO?

It's certainly not impossible - all you have to do is expose one server to HTTP - surely your NetOps team can assist you with that?
Alternatively, you could host an endpoint on (Heroku|Azure|[a-Z]+),and have it store all the requests for retrieval by your firewalled server, POP3 for HTTP, if you will. (mixing my metaphors here, but you get the idea)
