hello! idempotency keys are meant for API requests made to Stripe. For webhook events, you should use the event id like what our doc mentions
ornate bison
I'm not too sure I understand, are you referring to idempotency keys?

the event id [https://docs.stripe.com/webhooks#handle-duplicate-events], I will store it on a memory store and before processing, I will make sure that it doesn't exist, So I want to set an expiration on these keys
ornate bison
i think 24 hours should be more than sufficient. However, maybe a different question here is what do you really need to do with the event data? If you just want to ensure your DB has the latest information of the object, you can make a request to retrieve the object upon receipt of the event. In this case, you wouldn't even need to store the event id anyway

for this case, I'm keeping track of the trial_will_end event, so I would not want to send more than one email, It might be confusing to the end user
ornate bison
ah i see, but logically you can update in your own DB if you've already sent the email right?
chilly frigate
hmm not sure I'm following..
emails will be automatically sent when the trial_will_end is triggered via a webhook, I just want to make sure its sent once
