Troubleshooting and FAQ
| Problem | What to do |
|---|---|
| "The Webhooks module is not enabled" | Switch it on in Settings → Modules. |
| Send Test fails with no status | The address is wrong, private, or the other system is down. Check the URL is a public internet address (not a local or office-network one). |
| Status 401 or 403 | The other system rejected the signature or needs its own login. Check the secret. |
| Status 404 | The path in the URL is wrong. |
| Reply time ~30 seconds | The other system is too slow. It should reply first and do the work afterwards. |
| Signature never matches | Your developer is re-serialising the JSON or decoding the secret from hex. See Verifying the signature. |
| An event doesn't arrive | Check the event is ticked and the webhook is Active. |
| Same order arrives twice | A retry after a slow reply. The receiver should ignore duplicates. |
Do I need a developer? Not with Zapier, Make or Pabbly: paste their webhook URL and pick events. For your own system, yes.
