Webhooks

name.com can send HTTP POST requests to a URL you provide when specific domain or account events occur. Each request includes a JSON body with an eventName field that identifies the event type.

​
How it works

  1. Choose event types — Pick one or more eventName values (for example domain.transfer.status_change).
  2. Create a subscription — Call Subscribe to Notification with your callback URL and the event names you want.
  3. Handle POST requests — Your server receives payloads when those events occur. Respond with 2xx to acknowledge delivery.
  4. Verify signatures — Every request includes X-NAMECOM-SIGNATURE. Validate it before processing. See HMAC signature verification.
Manage subscriptions anytime with Get Subscribed Notifications, Modify Subscription, or Delete Subscription.
Event names are stable API identifiers. Use the exact eventName string from the payload reference page when subscribing and when routing in your handler (for example domain.transfer.status_change, not a display label).
