Stop Unauthorized Access! Secure Make Webhooks with an API Key

Secure your Make webhooks so only authorized users can trigger scenarios. I'll show how to pass the API key in the X-Make-API-Key HTTP header, how to configure the Custom Webhook module, and why an invalid key returns a 401 Unauthorized.
Result: a working safeguard against unauthorized triggers, fewer external accesses, and protection for paid automations.
