Why is a Webhook Integration Event not a CancelableEvent

[DieterVanhove]

Hello,

I have a quick question regarding webhook handling. We have a site that integrates both HubSpot and a Zapier webhook. Based on the utm_content parameter, I send the payload either to HubSpot or Zapier. For HubSpot integration, I can easily cancel the event if it's not needed. However, for the Zapier webhook, I am unable to cancel the event.

I understand that the webhook event is not a CancelableEvent in the code. Could anyone explain why this is the case? While I can send an empty payload, I would prefer to cancel the event entirely.

Thank you for your help!

What event are you using, or trying to use? Using the beforeSendPayload and setting $event->isValid = false should do the trick.

Hi @engram-design,

Sorry I think it's clear now. I was confused because Zapier is marked as a webhook. So i thought i had to use modifyWebhookPayload

But I can probably use beforeSendPayload also for my Zapier correct?

Nah modifyWebhookPayload would be for changing the data sent to the webhook, not preventing the sending itself.

@engram-design okay that makes sense, thank you.
