How do I set up Webhooks?
1. You need an address to which you want to send the Webhook . If you already have this, perfect. If not, you can test Webhooks at https://webhook.site . To get started, copy the URL where you want to receive the Webhook.
2. In Invitario go to "Administration" > "Integrations" > Tab "Webhook"
This area is only available to "Account Administrators".
Create a Webhook by entering a name and optionally a description. Then enter the endpoint (URL) and select the desired action type > Add Webhook.
3. Optionally, you can repeat this step for all action types and different endpoints
Created Webhooks always apply to the entire account. Event-specific data is included in the payload of the respective Webhooks.
Retries

Connection failed: The URL stored in the Webhook could not be reached.
Timeout: A Webhook waits five seconds for a successful response from the web server. If this time is exceeded, it is considered an error.
HTTP status code: If a Webhook receives an HTTP status code other than 2xx, it is considered an error.
Retry attempts are made at different intervals:
1. Attempt: 1 minute
2. Attempt: 5 minutes
3. Attempt: ..
