Webhook relay with retries, signing, and replay

Email, SMS, and WhatsApp aren't the only way notifications leave your system. Most B2B integrations are still webhooks — and the difference between a webhook that works and one that quietly breaks is everything that surrounds the HTTP call. 4notify treats webhooks as a first-class channel with the same delivery guarantees we apply to user-facing messages.

Capabilities you don't have to build, monitor, or babysit

Each capability ships on the standard plan. Nothing in this list is an upsell or a separate product line.

01

Signed payloads with per-endpoint secrets

Every outbound request is HMAC-signed with a secret that rotates on demand. Customers verify with three lines of code and can see the exact payload that produced the signature inside their portal — no more 'the webhook arrived but didn't validate' tickets.

02

Exponential backoff with idempotency and replay

Failed deliveries retry on an exponential schedule with full jitter. Every attempt is recorded; you can replay a single event, a date range, or everything that failed during an outage with one click — and a unique idempotency key per event makes the receiving side safe.

03

Fan-out to multiple endpoints from one event

A single 'invoice.paid' event can simultaneously hit your accounting webhook, a Slack channel, a fulfillment partner, and your data warehouse. Each endpoint has its own retry policy and filters — you don't end up with one slow consumer holding up the others.

04

Tenant-level rate limits and circuit breakers

If a customer's endpoint starts 500-ing under load, we slow that delivery without affecting the rest of the queue. Sustained failures trip a circuit breaker and notify the customer admin — they find out before their next quarterly review.

Where US customers actually use this

  • Stripe-style event delivery for your own API
  • Real-time sync between your application and a customer's CRM or ERP
  • Outbound triggers for Zapier, n8n, and Make integrations
  • Push events to data warehouses (Snowflake, BigQuery) via downstream collectors
  • Notify on-call engineers via PagerDuty or Opsgenie for high-severity application events

The relay shares the same observability stack as the email and SMS channels — every payload, every retry, every signature mismatch lives in the message audit log with full search.
