Webhook Attributes

  • id The unique identifier for the webhooks (unique across all of Chargify). This is not changed on a retry/replay of the same webhook, so it may be used to avoid duplicate action for the same event.
  • successful A boolean flag describing whether the webhook was accepted by the webhook endpoint for the most recent attempt. (Acceptance is defined by receiving a “200 OK” HTTP response within a reasonable timeframe, i.e. 15 seconds)
  • event A string describing which event type produced the given Webhook
  • body The data sent within the Webhook post
  • signature The calculated Webhook signature
  • created_at Timestamp indicating when the Webhook was created
  • accepted_at Timestamp indicating when the Webhook was accepted by the merchant endpoint. When a webhook is explicitly replayed by the merchant, this value will be cleared until it is accepted again.
  • last_sent_at Timestamp indicating when the most recent attempt was made to send the Webhook
  • last_error_at Timestamp indicating when the last non-acceptance occurred. If a webhooks is later resent and accepted, this field will be cleared.
  • last_error Text describing the status code and/or error from the last failed attempt to send the Webhook. When a webhook is retried and accepted, this field will be cleared.
