Inbox Webhooks

Webhooks push Inbox ticket activity to your own HTTPS endpoint as it happens. When a ticket is created, assigned, resolved or edited, we POST the event to every endpoint subscribed to it — with automatic retries, per-attempt delivery logs, and health tracking that disables an endpoint that has been failing for too long.

This is the push counterpart to the Inbox Ticketing API: instead of polling for changes, you receive them within seconds.

Early access

Webhooks are enabled per account. If you don't see the Webhooks tile under Integrations, reach out to our team.

How it works

  1. Something happens to a ticket — an agent resolves it, a tag changes, a note is added.
  2. We match the event against your endpoints. An endpoint receives it only if it is enabled and subscribed to that event type.
  3. We POST the event to your URL and read your response.
  4. On failure we retry on a fixed schedule, backing off as attempts continue.
  5. Every attempt is written to Delivery logs with its status, latency and reason.
  6. An endpoint that fails continuously for 48 hours is disabled automatically.

Events that match no endpoint are discarded — there is no queue waiting for you to subscribe later.

Set up an endpoint

The Webhooks screen lists your endpoints with their status, health, event count and when each last succeeded or failed.

  1. Go to Integrations and open the Webhooks tile under Tools.

  2. Select New endpoint.

  3. Fill in the form:

    FieldNotes
    NameHow the endpoint appears in the list.
    DescriptionOptional — what the endpoint is for.
    Webhook URLMust be https://.
    AuthenticationSee Authentication.
    Request timeout3,000–30,000 ms. Default 10,000 ms.
    EnabledTurn off to pause delivery without deleting the endpoint.
  4. Under Events, pick the events this endpoint should receive. Search filters the list; Select all takes everything. At least one is required.

  5. Select Create endpoint.

You can register up to five endpoints, each with its own URL, authentication and event selection. Paused and auto-disabled endpoints still count toward the five — delete one to free a slot.

Changing an endpoint's event selection takes effect on the next event; it does not backfill.

Send a test event

The Send test event action on any endpoint posts a sample payload immediately and reports the HTTP status, latency and result. It's the fastest way to confirm your URL, firewall rules and response handling before real traffic arrives.

Test events are not recorded in Delivery logs.

Events

Fourteen ticket events are available, all under the Inbox category:

EventFires when
Ticket createdA new ticket is created.
Ticket assignedThe ticket is assigned to an agent.
Ticket reassignedThe ticket moves from one agent to another.
Ticket transferredThe ticket moves to a different group.
Status changedThe status changes with no more specific event — for example moving to On hold or back to the queue.
Ticket resolvedThe ticket is marked resolved.
Ticket reopenedA resolved ticket is reopened.
Ticket closedThe ticket is closed.
Ticket mergedThe ticket is merged into another ticket.
Collaborators changedA collaborator is added or removed.
Priority updatedThe ticket priority changes.
Tags updatedThe ticket tags change.
Custom field updatedA custom field on the ticket changes.
Note addedA note is added to the ticket.

The picker only lists events that are actually emitted today. If an event isn't in the list, nothing would ever be sent for it — so you can't subscribe to silence.

Payload

Each delivery is an HTTPS POST with Content-Type: application/json and an X-Yellow-Event-Id header carrying the event id.

The body is a Kapture-compatible envelope, so if you are migrating from Kapture you can point your existing webhook at us unchanged:

{
"request": {
"head": {
"version": "1.0",
"clientId": "your-client-id",
"function": "dana.kapture.ticket.manage",
"reqTime": "2026-08-06T09:17:54+00:00",
"clientSecret": "…",
"reqMsgId": "3da24fdc-fb26-482f-9146-e4a9be8d495b"
},
"body": {
"externalId": "TCK-10432",
"subject": "Refund not received",
"status": "RESOLVED",
"agentName": "Priya R",
"comment": "",
"externalCommentId": "",
"authorId": "u-8821",
"authorType": "agent",
"email": "[email protected]",
"ticketAssignee": "[email protected]",
"orderId": "",
"loginId": "",
"topic": "",
"subTopic": "",
"attachments": []
}
},
"signature": "…"
}

head.clientId and head.function are per-endpoint settings you control. status carries our ticket status vocabulary as-is — it is not remapped.

Responding

Return a 2xx as soon as you have accepted the event. Don't do slow downstream work before responding, or you risk hitting the request timeout and being sent a retry for an event you already processed.

If your response body contains a resultInfo object we read it: resultStatus of "S" is success and "F" is failure. A plain 2xx with no resultInfo is treated as success.

Delivery guarantees

At-least-once, so build for duplicates. head.reqMsgId is the event id and stays the same across every retry of that event — use it as your idempotency key.

Order is best-effort, not guaranteed. A retried event can arrive after a newer one. If sequence matters, order on the event's own timestamp rather than on arrival.

No replay or backfill. Once an event is dropped — because nothing was subscribed, the endpoint was disabled, or every attempt failed — it is not re-delivered, and there is no way to request it again. For workflows where a missed event is costly, reconcile periodically against the Inbox Ticketing API.

Retries

Every event gets up to 12 attempts — the first, plus 11 retries:

RetryDelay after the previous attempt
115 seconds
25 minutes
330 minutes
42 hours
54 hours
6–118 hours each

Each delay carries up to ±20% of randomness so a backlog to one endpoint doesn't arrive as a single burst. After the twelfth failure the event is given up on.

Retry-After wins. If your response carries a Retry-After header — on a 429 or 503, for example — we schedule the next attempt then instead of using the table, with a floor of 5 seconds. A Retry-After above 24 hours is refused and the event is dropped, on the grounds that a day-late ticket event is no longer useful.

What gets retried:

RetriedGiven up immediately
Timeouts and connection errors400, 410, 422 and other malformed-request responses
429 rate limits501, 505
All 5xx except 501/505
401, 403, 404, 408, 425

401, 403 and 404 are retried because in practice they're temporary — a rotated credential, or a route that's missing for the length of a deploy — rather than a permanent refusal.

Endpoint health

StateMeaning
UnknownNothing delivered yet to judge on.
HealthyThe last delivery succeeded.
DegradedRecent failures, still delivering.
FailingFive consecutive failures. Delivery pauses for a 5-minute cooldown, then resumes — we stop hammering an endpoint that is clearly down.
Deregistered48 hours of continuous failure. The endpoint is disabled and stops receiving events.

The 48-hour clock starts at the first failure and resets on any success. Rate limiting (429) never counts against endpoint health, so an endpoint that only ever rate-limits us is never disabled for it.

While an endpoint is deregistered its events are discarded, not held.

Re-enable a deregistered endpoint

Fix the endpoint, then select Re-enable on its row. This sends a test event and reactivates the endpoint only if that delivery succeeds — an endpoint that is still broken cannot be switched back on. Health reads Unknown until the first real delivery lands.

Delivery logs and metrics

Delivery logs record every attempt: timestamp, event type, resource id, status, result, attempt number, HTTP status, latency, payload size and failure reason. Filter by status or event type, search the failure reason, open a row for detail, or export the current view to CSV.

Health metrics shows delivered, succeeded and failed counts, retries, success rate, average latency, last success and last failure, plus a delivered-vs-failed trend.

note

Logs are retained for 30 days. We do not store the response body your endpoint returns — only its status code and, where present, resultInfo.

Security

  • HTTPS only. http:// URLs are rejected.
  • Credentials are never returned by the API. Where you supply one, it is shown only as a masked last-4 hint after saving.
  • Response bodies from your endpoint are not persisted.

Authentication

TypeWhat we send
Signature (RSA)A signature field alongside the payload, plus your clientId and function in head.
NoneNo authentication header.
Bearer / Basic / API keyYour credential, as Authorization or X-Api-Key.
Verify by allow-list for now

The signature field is present in every payload but currently carries a placeholder value — there is no public key published to verify it against, so do not treat it as proof of origin. Until signature verification ships, authenticate us by allow-listing our egress IPs or by putting an unguessable path segment in your webhook URL.

Troubleshooting

Nothing is arriving. Check, in order: the endpoint is Enabled; it hasn't been Deregistered; the event you expect is actually ticked in its event list; and Delivery logs for that endpoint. An event that matched no endpoint leaves no trace, so an empty log usually means the subscription didn't match — not that delivery failed.

Deliveries show as failed with 2xx. Your response body contains a resultInfo with resultStatus: "F". We classify on that, not on the status code.

Duplicates. Expected under at-least-once delivery — deduplicate on head.reqMsgId.

Timeouts. Raise Request timeout (up to 30,000 ms), or acknowledge immediately and move the work off the request path. Timeouts count against endpoint health and will eventually deregister the endpoint.

The endpoint was disabled on its own. That's the 48-hour deregistration. Fix the cause, then Re-enable — it will only come back if a test event succeeds.
