Webhooks

View the expected webhook event payloads to your custom-defined endpoints

Here you can see the data sent in notification requests to your customer-provided endpoints. The only requirement for a customer-defined endpoint is that it responds with a 200 HTTP status code.

Webhooks must be registered first. See Setting up Webhooks to learn more.
