Webhooks

Receive platform events in real time — delivery guarantees, signing and retry semantics.

Overview

Webhooks let your systems react to events as they happen rather than polling for changes. The platform delivers signed event payloads to endpoints you register, with retries and delivery guarantees you can build on.

This page describes the conceptual model — event types, signing and retry behavior — so you can design reliable event-driven integrations.

What this covers

Signed payloads

Every delivery is signed so you can verify it originated from Vestval before processing.

At-least-once delivery

Events are retried on failure, so design handlers to be idempotent.

Event catalog

A documented set of event types per product, versioned alongside the API.

Retry & backoff

Failed deliveries are retried with exponential backoff and eventually surfaced.

Replay

Missed events can be replayed so you can recover from downtime.

Endpoint management

Register, test and rotate endpoint secrets without disrupting delivery.
