We wrote this guide for webhook providers looking to add webhooks to their API or improve their webhooks delivery system. Here are a few best practices to keep in mind while generating webhook payloads

Best practices for generating webhook events

Convoy consists of several services working in tandem such as the Server and the Agent.

Organizations and Projects

An endpoint is a valid HTTP URL that can receive webhook events.

Endpoints

Webhook signatures are strings used to verify the validity of a webhook event sent to Convoy.

Signatures

Sources are how events are ingested into Convoy. Convoy currently supports three types of sources - REST API, HTTP Ingested and Message Brokers such as Google PubSub, Amazon SQS and Kafka.

Sources

Subscriptions are conduits through which events are routed from a source to a destination (endpoint) in Convoy

Subscriptions

An event delivery is the combination of an endpoint and an event. For both incoming and outgoing webhooks project, an event can generate multiple event deliveries depending on the subscriptions.

Events and Event Deliveries

The portal link serves as a medium to quickly generate portals for users to review and debug events from a publisher

Portal Links

Meta events are operational events generated by Convoy for specific activities happening within your Convoy project.

Meta Events

Idempotent HTTP requests refer to the characteristic of certain HTTP methods that allows them to be safely and repeatedly executed without altering the state of the server beyond the initial request.

Idempotency

Static IP addresses are how we ensure all webhook events originate from the correct source without malicious entities impersonating the source.

Static IP addresses

Static IPs

Webhooks are a mechanism for notifying third-party applications about a change in their account in real time.

Filtering is used to decide what events an endpoint will receive based on the webhook event payload.

Filters

Functions are used to mutate webhook payloads (event data)

Functions

Convoy exports metrics about the state of events received and sent via Prometheus.

Convoy CLI

Convoy provides SDK for in-app integration. These SDKs carry out the same operations as the API and Convoy dashboard.
