Validation Token on WebHook subscription

I am attempting to subscribe to push notifications. When I send the request I am receiving the error code 'SUB-520' with description 'Validation Token is not returned'. I can't find anything in the API documentation about this whatsoever. I see the request come in to my server with a custom HTTP header called VALIDATION_TOKEN. I tried many ways to reply to this, but nothing I have tried works. What am I missing?

That is correct. Glad you were able to find the documentation.

There is also this demo application in Node.js for understanding RingCentral WebHooks.

Found it. The reply needs to have header "validation-token" with a hyphen instead of an underscore. The documentation where I found this was here: http://ringcentral-quickstart.readthedocs.io/en/latest/webhooks/
