Hi Vishal Pathriya

Yes, Microsoft has deprecated public access to the vso.service_hook OAuth scope, which used to be required for programmatically managing service hooks (webhooks) in Azure DevOps. That’s why it no longer appears in the OAuth scope list when registering an app.

You can Use the Azure DevOps UI for Setting Up Webhooks:

1. Go to your Azure DevOps -> Select your Project -> Project Settings > Service Hooks -> + New subscription -> Select Web Hooks as the service -> Choose the trigger (e.g., Code pushed, pull request created) -> Select the Filters if required -> Configure the Action settings as required.
2. Refer to this document - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/service-hooks/services/webhooks?view=azure-devops
3. This doesn’t require vso.service_hook scope and works seamlessly.

Hope this helps!

Hi @Durga Reshma Malthi ,

We are using OAuth for getting users Token, and this token not allow us to create a webhook.

Hi Vishal Pathriya

OAuth access tokens currently cannot be used to manage service hooks, because Microsoft has made the vso.service_hook scope private/internal. That’s why your token lacks the necessary permission to create or manage webhooks.

Refer to this document - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/integrate/get-started/authentication/oauth?view=azure-devops#scopes
