Events & Attempts

What's an event?

A webhook event represents a webhook received from one of your sources. Events are used to keep track of all the webhooks received and their state.

• Status: The event status (pending, failed, or successful)
• Event Date: The date the event was received
• Attempts: The count of attempt that has been made
• Webhook Connection: The webhook connection the webhook event is associated with
• Next Attempt At: Automatically scheduled date for the next retry (attempt)

Each event also has an associated Event Request that contains the Headers and Body of the original webhook request.

The Headers is a JSON document and the Body can be a simple primitive (boolean, string, number, null) or JSON

What's an attempt?

For each Event, an initial attempt is made to deliver the request to your Destination. If the request is successful, the retry strategy is disabled and your event will only have a single attempt.

Alternatively, new attempts will be made over time according to your retry strategy. Any given event can have up to 50 attempts. Each attempt can be browsed within the Event List by clicking an event or by going directly to the event page.

• Status: The attempt status (pending, failed, or successful)
• Attempt Date: The date the attempt was made
• Attempt Number: The number of the attempt (nth position) for the associated event

Each attempt also has an associated Attempt Response that contains the HTTP Status and Body of the server response.
