Understanding Webhook Subscriptions in Convoy

A webhook subscription allows you to configure an endpoint to receive messages when certain events are triggered, similar to setting up job alerts on platforms like LinkedIn. This process is facilitated by Convoy, which offers tools to manage these subscriptions effectively, including features such as Event Types, Payload Structure, Webhook Fan-out, and Retry Logic. Event Types filter which events an endpoint receives, while Payload Structure allows for further filtering based on the request's content. Webhook Fan-out enables dispatching events to multiple endpoints simultaneously, and Retry Logic offers mechanisms to handle event delivery failures through linear or exponential retry strategies. These features collectively enhance the efficiency and customization of webhook event routing in Convoy projects, ensuring endpoints only receive relevant and correctly formatted messages. Convoy's platform provides a comprehensive solution for managing webhook subscriptions, accommodating various user needs through its flexible and configurable options.
