Failure
Our system is designed to send webhook notifications in real-time when certain events occur. However, there may be instances where notifications fail to deliver due to network issues, server downtime, or other reasons. We attempt to send notifications three times before marking the URL as broken, ceasing further notifications to that URL.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with webhook notifications, consider the following solutions:
Ensure your system can receive and respond to GET/POST requests. Verify your firewall or security settings aren't blocking incoming requests.
Check webhook configuration for correct URL formatting and protocol. (e.g., HTTP/HTTPS).
Ensure you have admin-level access to webhook management.
If issues persist, contact our support team ([email protected]) for assistance.
You can edit the URL for received Webhooks or remove webhook connections if needed. Click the ‘Edit’ button.
Paste the new URL and click ‘Update’. That's it, your new webhooks will now be directed to the new URL.
