Retries & Failures

If your endpoint does not respond 2xx within 10 seconds, or responds with a 5xx (or 408/429), Wajub considers the delivery failed and retries automatically, up to 5 attempts total.

Redelivery policy

After the 5th attempt still fails, the delivery is marked failed — it is not retried further, and the endpoint itself is not automatically disabled.

Make your receiver idempotent

Since the same event may be delivered multiple times, deduplicate on event.id.

app.post('/webhooks/wajub', async (req, res) => {
const event = wajub.webhooks.constructEvent(req.body, sig, secret);
res.sendStatus(200);                       // acknowledge first

if (await seen(event.id)) return;          // already processed → ignore
await markSeen(event.id);
await process(event);
});

Retry failed deliveries

Each attempt is viewable in Konsole → Webhooks: you can see the response code, returned body, and latency, and can retry — resending the exact original payload with a freshly-signed header — once your endpoint is fixed. Also available: Retry bulk, to resend up to 100 failed deliveries in one action.
