Webhook failure notifications provide you a means of tracking and resolving a crucial part of your Bolt integration.
Review Webhook Events
By default, only failing webhooks (Result = FAILED
) display in the hook events tab. Use the following steps to review webhook events:
- Log in to the Bolt Merchant Dashboard.
- Navigate to Administration > Webhooks.
You can review the error message related to the failed webhook by selecting the down-arrow icon and also manually resend the webhook.
Webhook Results Table
The Webhooks table will show a result for every attempted webhook:
- PENDING: The webhook containing the order update has not yet been sent to the order management system.
- SUCCESS: The webhook containing the order update has been sent to the order management system, and the order management system has sent confirmation that the web hook update occurred successfully.
- FAILURE: The webhook containing the order update has been sent to the order management system, but the order management system has rejected the update.
- IGNORE: The webhook containing the order update was sent to the order management system and rejected, but a user has manually indicated that the hook failure should be ignored via the hook failure invalidation process.
Columns
- Type: The type of hook that was sent to the order management system.
- Transaction Reference: The 12-digit Bolt ID corresponding to the order with which the hook is associated.
- Result: The current status of the hook, as described in the Webhook Results section above.
- Attempts: The number of times that Bolt has attempted to send the hook to the order management system. For more information on attempts, please see What is a Webhook Failure?
- Last Attempt: The timestamp, in the store’s local time zone, of the most recent attempt to send the hook.
- Action: For successful webhooks, no action will be displayed. For failing webhooks, the action column will display the Resend button.
Webhook Failure Notifications
After 10 failed attempts to sync the webhook to the order management system, Bolt sends the webhook failure email notification. This is because after 10 attempts the probability that the hook will resolve itself without user intervention is low.
TIP
Webhook failure notifications are not sent by default. You can enable webhook failure notifications by updating your Email Notifications settings. See How to Manage Users for more information.
