Clearing suppression

Sometimes a webhook delivery fails. This may be due to a temporary error or more permanent problem. If an endpoint cannot be reached, the delivery is retried. If it keeps failing, the recipient will be marked as Suppressed, and no more events will be sent.

When there are suppressed recipients, an alert message appears, and a red exclamation point next to a webhook indicates there’s an issue and that the webhook is suppressed.

Suppressed recipients

Click on the button to clear the suppresion and allow the recipient to rececive events again.
