Webhook versioning is crucial to avoid breaking customers' integrations when making backward-incompatible changes. The most common methods of API versioning are path-based and header-based, but webhooks require a different approach due to their asynchronous nature.

This method offers the most flexibility for webhook senders and robust experience for consumers.
