Webhooks are a great way for your system to receive near real-time updates from Centz without the need to constantly polling. When enabled, your system will be notified as soon as an event is trigger within Centz .
Webhooks can be enabled on a per site or per invoice basis by assigning a webhook URL when calling the associated endpoints. Here is an example of the json data required to enable webhooks for each endpoint.
{
"externalId": "12345678",
"webhook": {
"active": true,
"url": "https://mysoftware.com/webhook"
}
}
{
"_id": "39772921",
"webhookUrl": "https://mysoftware.com/webhook/{invoice_id}"
}
When a webhook URL is configured, the following messages will be sent.
Your webhook URL must answer with a successful HTTP status code (any 2xx) and should do so within 10 seconds. A non-2xx status, or a connection that cannot be made at all, counts as a failed delivery and the message is re-sent using the following schedule.
Hay tres reintentos como máximo. Cada retraso en la tabla se mide a partir del intento anterior y no del webhook inicial, por lo que el tercer y último intento se realiza unas tres horas después. Si ese también falla, el mensaje no se vuelve a enviar.
