+Splunk webhooks use bearer token authentication. For the complete webhook request format, payload schema, and example code, see [Invoking DevOps Agent through Webhook](./configuring-capabilities-for-aws-devops-agent-invoking-devops-agent-through-webhook.html). Use the Version 2 (Bearer token authentication) examples, setting the `Authorization: Bearer <Token>` header with the API Key from Step 2.
