# Rotate a webhook channel's signing secret

POST https://api.cloudraker.com/channels/{id}/rotate-secret
Content-Type: application/json

Sets (first time) or rotates the Standard Webhooks secret a webhook channel verifies inbound deliveries against. The outgoing secret keeps verifying for one rotation cycle. The secret is never returned in any response — only an opaque Vault reference. Authorization: organization administrators only. Returns 400 if the channel is not a webhook channel, 404 if not found.
