Hi there 👋 invoices relying on auto-advance to move through their states will remain in a draft state for approximately an hour before being finalized. The exception to this rule is that the first invoice for a subscription gets finalized immediately.

Hello Toby, would it be possible to disable this delay ? Thanks

It can't be disabled, but you can write code to manually finalize the invoice before it does so automatically:

Which webhook event should I listen to and which variables should I check ?

You can listen to the invoice.created event as your trigger, and then retrieve the invoice to check what the status is set to. If it's in a draft state then you can try finalizing it.
