Loop Webhooks

Webhooks are a powerful tool that enables you to keep track of the subscription events occurring in the Loop system.

This article details the use of Webhooks with Loop and how you can leverage the same for your store.

How can Webhooks help?

Webhooks help stay in sync with the activities that matter most to you and automate actions based on those events. By subscribing to webhooks, you can receive notifications about specific events and use the data payload from the event to trigger custom logic. Overall, webhooks provide a reliable and efficient way to integrate with the Loop system and streamline your workflow.

How to respond to a Webhook ?

In order to confirm the receipt of data through your webhook, it is important to send a response with a status code in the 200 range, indicating success. If the response falls outside this range, it will signal that the webhook was not received.

Our system has been designed to include a 5-second time-out period for all webhook requests. If a response is not received within this timeframe, the request is considered to have failed.

To ensure that webhook requests are properly processed, our system will automatically retry failed requests over the next 48 hours. However, if a request continues to fail during each retry attempt, our system will take appropriate action and delete the webhook request.

By implementing these measures, we aim to provide a reliable and efficient webhook service that minimizes any potential disruptions to our client's operations.

What are Webhook attributes / headers?

Attributes and headers are two important components of a webhook payload. Attributes are key-value pairs that provide additional information about the event that triggered the webhook.

Following are the Webhook attributes for Loop.

id Unique numeric identifier for the webhook.
address The URI where the webhook should send the POST request when the event occurs.
topic The event that will trigger the webhook.
version The version of the API used to populate the body of the webhook.

Headers, on the other hand, are pieces of information sent along with the payload to provide additional context or instructions for how the payload should be processed.

Following are the Webhook headers for Loop.

X-Loop-Webhook-Id the unique id to identify duplicate entries
X-Loop-Webhook-Api-Version api version of the payload/webhook
X-Loop-Webhook-Topic Topic of the webhook eg: 'subscription/cancelled'
X-Loop-Webhook-Created-At Date time string when the event was created (remains same in every retry)
X-Loop-Webhook-Delivery-At date time string when the webhook is being delivered (also can be referred to as the time when it was retried)
X-Loop-Webhook-Retry-Count Number of retries/tries done
