Webhooks can be used to notify your own systems that something has happened in Billsby or for integrating with third party services.

The Webhooks configuration page allows you to specify the endpoint that you would like to receive webhooks to, by adding it in the URL field provided.

You also have the option to include an additional security measure by protecting your webhook URL using basic authentication. To do this, input a secret key in the box provided and this key will be attached to every webhook we send to you. You can then check whether the webhook contains the correct secret key which is passed over in the header, and you'll know it was sent from your Billsby account.

In the Billsby control panel you can easily test webhooks, all you need to do is set up your webhook URL and click on the Test button. Then, we will send the webhook to your specified endpoint with the secret key passed over in the header.

If you need a webhook we’ve not built yet, let our service team know so we can consider it for a future release.

Billsby expects a 2XX reply from the configured URL to confirm the notification we sent has been successfully delivered. If a webhook times out or we receive an error, we’ll cancel and retry sending the webhook seven times - first two minutes after the failure, then six minutes after the previous retry, then an hour after the previous retry, then 5 hours after the previous retry, then 1 day after the previous retry and finally 2 days after the previous retry.

Each webhook has a unique ID, so if you receive the same webhook more than once due to retries, you’ll know to ignore it.
