# Rotate the signing secret

`POST https://api.cutedyno.com/v1/webhooks/{id}/rotate-secret`

Issues a new signing secret and returns it once. The previous secret stops verifying immediately, so deploy the new one before the next event.


Required permission: `webhooks:write`

Accepts `profileId` to target a specific profile. Omit it to use the key’s home profile.

Required permission: `webhooks:write`

## Path parameters
