Webhook icon: two connected nodes joined by a curved hook-shaped arrowIf you've just hit that error trying to save a webhook in Optimizely SaaS CMS, here's the short version:

Optimizely SaaS CMS performs a validation handshake before it will save your webhook. It sends an HTTP OPTIONS request to your endpoint URL, and your endpoint must reply with the header WebHook-Allowed-Origin: *. A 200 OK on its own is not enough. Most free webhook-inspection tools return 200 but do not send that header, so the CMS refuses to save the webhook.
