FAQ
Inbound webhook don’t works on your partner custom domain?
In cases where the inbound webhooks under your Partner custom domain stop working, while under Uchat domain they are working correctly.
The issue could be inside your cloudflare settings.
Sometimes Cloudflare automatically detects requests to your domain and term them as attacks from bots. This blocks the requests coming to these inbound webhooks for a certain interval of time.
In order to avoid this, Go to your settings inside your Cloudflare dashboard, under the security tab, turn off “Bot Fight Mode”.
This will help you stop classifying requests made to your webhooks as bot attacks and your inbound webhooks will start working again
Note: Another reason webhooks can stop working is hitting their daily threshold. So always check to make sure the limits arent being maxed out
