Zendesk Webhook Documentation Review

What's this blog post about?

Zendesk's webhook documentation is comprehensive and user-friendly, offering detailed information about signature verification, event catalog, retry policy, troubleshooting and failure recovery, and testing tools. The documentation stands out for its thoroughness in explaining the "webhook circuit breaker" feature and providing a full event catalog with sample payload schemas. However, it could benefit from using a constant time comparison function in the signature verification code sample and adding sections on testing and troubleshooting webhook endpoints. Overall, Zendesk's documentation is impressive and helps users follow best practices for receiving webhooks.
