Setup
Rotate credentials
Rotate an endpoint secret deliberately. FlowRelay shows the new full secret once and never reveals the previous full secret.
Steps
Complete these in order.
-
Open the endpoint detail page for the sender that needs a new secret.
-
Confirm the sender owner is ready to update their private configuration immediately after rotation.
-
Rotate the endpoint secret in FlowRelay and copy the new value only into the sender's private secret manager.
-
Confirm the sender no longer uses the previous secret because the old value stops working after rotation.
-
Send one test event with synthetic data and open the receipt to confirm authentication succeeds.
-
Share only the receipt outcome or diagnostics share if troubleshooting is needed. Do not paste the new secret, old secret, full authentication header, or signature into support.
When to rotate #
Rotate when a secret may have been exposed, a partner no longer needs access, a sender changes ownership, or an operator wants a clean credential handoff.
What changes #
The endpoint URL stays the same. The endpoint secret changes, the new value is shown once, and later screens show only safe secret metadata such as the last four characters.
Agent boundary #
An authorized agent may prepare or execute a rotation only when the grant includes the required scope. It still cannot retrieve old secrets, Shopify tokens, session data, raw event bodies, or database credentials.
