Update a webhook configuration

Updates specific fields of an existing webhook configuration.

Business Context: Use this endpoint to modify webhook settings such as endpoint URLs, event subscriptions, security configurations, or enable/disable status without requiring webhook recreation.

What Can Be Updated:

Endpoint Configuration:

  • Target URL and HTTP method
  • Description and documentation
  • Enable/disable status

Event Subscriptions:

  • Add or remove event types
  • Modify event filtering
  • Update subscription scope

Security Settings:

  • Webhook secret for signature validation
  • SSL certificate configuration (CA, client certs)
  • Authentication headers and tokens

Operational Settings:

  • Enable or disable webhook delivery
  • Retry configuration and timeouts
  • Rate limiting parameters

Business Rules:

  • URL changes take effect immediately for new events
  • Event subscription changes apply to future events only
  • Disabled webhooks stop receiving all events
  • Security changes require webhook endpoint updates

Common Use Cases:

  • Updating webhook URLs during infrastructure changes
  • Adding or removing event subscriptions
  • Enabling/disabling webhooks for maintenance
  • Updating security secrets during key rotation
  • Modifying descriptions for better documentation

Impact Assessment:

  • URL Changes: Test new endpoint before updating
  • Event Changes: Review downstream systems for compatibility
  • Security Updates: Coordinate with webhook endpoint maintainers
  • Status Changes: Monitor integration health after changes

Best Practices:

  • Gradual Updates: Test changes in development first
  • Monitoring: Watch delivery metrics after configuration changes
  • Documentation: Update integration documentation after changes
  • Backup: Record previous configuration before major updates
  • Coordination: Notify webhook endpoint owners of changes
