Webhooks

What this connects

Business events to any endpoint you control.

Supported workflows

• Notifying another system when an invoice is created
• Triggering an external workflow on a stock or status change
• Feeding an internal dashboard in near real time
• Chaining into automation platforms

Data exchanged

• Event type and timestamp
• The record payload for that event
• A signature header for verification

Setup requirements

• An HTTPS endpoint that can receive POST requests
• Event subscription selection
• A shared secret for signature verification

Permissions required

• Permission to send the selected event data to your endpoint

Security and privacy

• Data is transmitted over encrypted connections (TLS).
• Payloads are signed so your endpoint can verify they genuinely came from us.
• Endpoints must use HTTPS; plain HTTP is refused.

Known limitations

Stated plainly, because finding these out during implementation is worse than knowing them now.

• Delivery is retried on failure, but a permanently unreachable endpoint will eventually be dropped.
• Your endpoint must respond quickly; slow handlers cause retries.
