Security note: Batch Buddy signs all webhook payloads with HMAC-SHA256 using your webhook secret. Verify the X-BatchBuddy-Signature header on each delivery to ensure authenticity.

Webhook Delivery

HTTPS only
All endpoints must use HTTPS. Batch Buddy will never send to HTTP or private IP ranges.
HMAC-SHA256 signed
Every delivery includes an X-BatchBuddy-Signature header for verification.
Up to 5 retries
Failed deliveries are retried with exponential back-off. Endpoints with 5 consecutive failures are paused.
< 30s latency
Webhooks are dispatched asynchronously from a background worker for minimal latency.
