⏱️ We close idle threads, which makes them read-only. Once a thread is closed it won't be reopened, but you can always start a new thread if you have another question.
🔗 This thread will always be available, even after it's closed. You can find it again using Discord's search, or you can save this link: https://discord.com/channels/841573134531821608/1310950724267409420

Can kind of infer that from the pending_webhooks field: https://docs.stripe.com/api/events/object#event_object-pending_webhooks
Otherwise not really an official way via the API as we don't expose the delivery attempts directly

Hey, thanks for the response
How could I infer it from the pending_webhooks?
I am trying to create a tool that will notify the owner of the stripe account when a webhook has failed.
orchid mica
Well if pending_webhook is >= 1 then you can assume there's delivery failures. However 0 won't necessarily mean success as it can also mean we didn't actually try to send it – perhaps they don't have a webhook configured to listen for those events
Like I said, not a perfect way to do it
tepid siren
I see.
But I can be sure that if a specific event has pending_webhook >= 1, these webhooks are failures?
orchid mica
Number of webhooks that haven’t been successfully delivered (for example, to return a 20x response) to the URLs you specify.
Is the description
Try it out!
orchid mica
Paste the evt_xxx ID please – easier for me to look at that directly

"evt_3QPNepRxhYQDfRYG1WNqE6ci"

Hmm, looks like you're sending it to the CLI?
We technically deem CLI forwarded events successful internally so I guess pending_webhooks reflects that
Try it with a non-CLI webhook, maybe via ngrok
tepid siren
I use stripe nodejs sdk
oh
i see
okay, just a moment
Will it stay pending forever?
orchid mica
No, they will eventually 'fail': https://docs.stripe.com/webhooks#retries
tepid siren
Now it works.
Okay, I understand.
Thank you 🙂
Is there a way to get more details on that pending webhook?
Or only a number
orchid mica
Nope, as I said we don't expose the devliery attempts in the API
