Webhook Advanced Features

This guide covers the advanced configuration options available for webhooks in our system, allowing you to customize webhook behavior for complex integration scenarios.

Overview

Advanced webhook features provide fine-grained control over webhook delivery, including rate limiting, custom headers, and payload transformations. These features are essential for production integrations that require specific handling or compliance with external API requirements.

Configuration Sections

Rate Limiting (Throttling)

Control the frequency of webhook deliveries to prevent overwhelming your endpoint or to comply with rate limits imposed by your receiving system.


Options:

  • No rate limit - Webhooks are delivered immediately as events occur
  • Custom rate limit - Define specific throttling parameters

Custom Headers

Add custom HTTP headers to webhook requests for authentication, routing, or metadata purposes.


Configuration:

  • Key: Header name (e.g., Authorization, X-API-Key, X-Tenant-ID)
  • Value: Header value (supports static values )

Transformations

Modify webhook payloads before delivery to match the expected format of your receiving system.
