Troubleshooting and FAQ

ProblemWhat to do
"The Webhooks module is not enabled"Switch it on in Settings → Modules.
Send Test fails with no statusThe 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 403The other system rejected the signature or needs its own login. Check the secret.
Status 404The path in the URL is wrong.
Reply time ~30 secondsThe other system is too slow. It should reply first and do the work afterwards.
Signature never matchesYour developer is re-serialising the JSON or decoding the secret from hex. See Verifying the signature.
An event doesn't arriveCheck the event is ticked and the webhook is Active.
Same order arrives twiceA 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.
