Piano proxy

Use one Piano webhook URL while CoEditor—and your other tools—still receive events.

The problem Piano creates

Many Piano setups allow only one webhook URL for a site or application. That is awkward when:

  • You already pointed Piano at another system before adopting CoEditor
  • You need CoEditor and a legacy script, data warehouse, or partner integration to hear the same events
  • You want to add Stripe-style flexibility but Piano will not accept a second native endpoint

What the CoEditor Piano Proxy does

The Piano Proxy is a CoEditor-managed URL you paste into Piano as your single webhook destination.

When Piano sends an event:

  1. Traffic hits the proxy URL you generated in publication Settings
  2. CoEditor decrypts and validates the payload (using your publication’s Piano private key)
  3. CoEditor processes what your publication is configured to sync into CRM
  4. When configured, CoEditor can forward the same event to another HTTPS endpoint you already rely on—so existing automations keep working while CRM gets a copy

You get one URL in Piano and more than one downstream consumer in practice.

How to set it up

  1. Open publication Settings.
  2. Under Piano Proxy, click Generate Piano Proxy Webhook.
  3. Copy the proxy URL.
  4. In Piano’s admin UI, replace (or set) the webhook / notification URL to that proxy address.
  5. Enable the broadest event set Piano allows on that webhook.
  6. Return to CRM Settings, complete Piano credentials, then Generate Base Webhook in the Piano section.

Order matters: proxy first, then base webhook. Skipping the proxy step means Piano events may never reach CoEditor’s sync pipeline correctly.

Stripe users: this is different

Stripe connects directly to CoEditor’s managed connector URL. You do not use the Piano Proxy for Stripe—only for Piano.

Practical tips

  • Keep the proxy URL stable. If you regenerate it, update Piano immediately or events will stop arriving.
  • Do not point Piano at the Stripe connector URL by mistake—the paths are different by design.
  • If you need a second consumer beyond CRM, ask your CoEditor contact how forwarding is enabled for your publication before changing Piano’s URL again.
