Webhooks
Listen for events on your Proper account so your integration can automatically trigger reactions.
Why use webhooks
Integrating Proper into your applications offers the valuable capability to instantly respond to events occurring within your Proper account. This real-time responsiveness is enabled through webhook events.
To tap into these events, begin by setting up webhook endpoints in your system. Once registered, Proper seamlessly streams live event data directly to your application’s webhook endpoint. This happens through secure HTTPS connections, with Proper dispatching JSON payloads containing an event object.
Webhook events are incredibly useful for tracking asynchronous activities. For instance, they keep you updated on key events like payment reconciliations, invoice creations, or contract end dates. This feature ensures your backend systems are always in sync with the latest developments in your Proper account.
Webhook events
By registering webhook endpoints in your Proper account, you enable Proper to automatically send an event as part of POST requests to the registered webhook endpoint hosted by your application. After your webhook endpoint receives the event, your application can run backend actions. For example, it could trigger a ticket to your Customer Success team when a customer is overdue by the customer.payment-overdue event.
The request timeout is 10 seconds.

Retry policy
If your webhook endpoint fails to respond to an event, Proper will retry the event three times: after 10 seconds, 5 minutes, and 1 hour. If none of the retries are successful, you will get notified via a notification email that includes all fails within the last hour.
You can also pull a list of all events sent to your webhook endpoint using the webhook events endpoint (opens in a new tab).
