Webhooks

Lexware Office supports the following parameters for webhooks: Resources:

CUSTOMER
SUPPLIER
ITEM
INVOICE
PAYMENT
TOKEN

Event types:

CREATED
UPDATED
DELETED
REVOKED

There is a special webhook resource called token that is triggered when a user’s Lexware Office token is revoked. This can happen if the user revokes access in their Lexware Office account settings or if the token expires and cannot be refreshed. Lexware Office needs both resource and event type to be able to send webhook events. The subscription is created per customer, which means for each customer, you will create a customized subscription for the events and resources you want to be notified about. To set this up, call Maesn’s create webhook endpoint POST /webhooks with the following example body:

Example code snippet

    const response = await axios.post(url, {
        "callbackUrl": callbackUrl,
        "eventType": "CREATED",
        "resource": "CUSTOMER"
    }, {
        headers: {
            'X-API-KEY': apiKey,
            'X-ACCOUNT-KEY': accountKey
        }
    });

It will return the id associated with the subscription:

Example response

{
    "data": {
        "id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
        "callbackUrl": "https://example.com/webhook-endpoint/12345",
        "createdDate": "2026-01-22T16:44:37.252Z",
        "expiresDate": "null",
        "secret": "2f1fd5f883d4c0adf5b31b91e4d6ae2d2975620c67bac8fdb864c78047b1d522"
        "updatedDate": "2026-01-22T16:44:37.252Z"
    },
    "meta": {}
}

At this point, your system is ready to receive end-user–related events at the callback URL you provided. The event response will provide the following information:

Example event body

{
  "eventType": "CREATED",
  "filterDate": null, //not supported by lexware
  "resource": "CUSTOMER",
  "resourceId": "1605408d-ed88-4228-8a12-ab857a2972d8",
  "userId": null //not supported by lexware
}

To delete the webhook subscription, you can call the DELETE /webhooks/{webhookId} endpoint provinding both your X-API-KEY and the end user X-ACCOUNT-KEY.
