Webhooks ⚡️

Abowire can send Webhook events to your application on specific actions.

You must specify the event you would like to be notified on and a public URL that Abowire can reach. You can add custom query parameters to the request as well, such as a secret token to validate the request, etc.

The webhook event

The event is sent as a POST request to the URL you specified. The body of the request will contain a JSON object with the following structure:

{
"source": <source>, // Source of the event (see list below)
"event": <event>, // Event that was fired (see list below)
"accountId": <accountId>, // Account ID that triggered the event
"isProduction": <isProduction>, // Whether the event was triggered in a production account or not
"payload": <payload> // Payload of the event
"previousPayload": <previousPayload> // Previous version of the entity (only for update events)
}

Payload

The payload of the event contains the newly available data. The structure depends on the type of event (see in the table below).

Sources by Abowire:

  • com.abowire.billing
  • com.abowire.checkout
  • com.abowire.identity
  • com.abowire.payments
  • com.abowire.notifications
  • com.abowire.apps

Error Handling

You must return a 200 HTTP status code within 5 seconds to be considered a valid request. 5+10

  • Responses with error codes 429 and 5xx are retried up to 3 times (after 5min, 15min and 30min since the original request).
  • Responses with error codes 1xx, 2xx, 3xx, and 4xx (excluding 429) are not retried.

Your response can use the standard Retry-After header to indicate the number of seconds to wait before we try again (max. 900).

Please not that after 3 failed attempts, the webhook will be disabled and you will receive an email notification (if a Contact Email is configured).
