Webhooks let iwoca notify your system the moment something happens — an application is offered or declined, or a customer is funded.
You never have to poll.
There are two sides to webhooks in this API:

- **Endpoints you call** to configure your webhook URL and manage which events you receive.
- **Events iwoca sends** to your endpoint as `POST` requests when something happens.

## Setting up

<Steps>
  <Step title="Configure your webhook URL and token">
    Set the endpoint iwoca should call using <ApiRefLink to="webhook-management/put-webhooks-configuration">`PUT /webhooks/configuration/`</ApiRefLink>. Read the current config with <ApiRefLink to="webhook-management/get-webhooks-configuration">`GET /webhooks/configuration/`</ApiRefLink>.
  </Step>
  <Step title="Subscribe to the events you want">
    Choose which events to receive with <ApiRefLink to="webhook-management/post-webhooks-subscriptions">`POST /webhooks/subscriptions/`</ApiRefLink>. Review your subscriptions with <ApiRefLink to="webhook-management/get-webhooks-subscriptions">`GET /webhooks/subscriptions/`</ApiRefLink>, and remove them with <ApiRefLink to="webhook-management/delete-webhooks-subscriptions">`DELETE /webhooks/subscriptions/`</ApiRefLink>.
  </Step>
  <Step title="Check available event types">
    See every event you can subscribe to with <ApiRefLink to="webhook-management/get-webhooks-event-types">`GET /webhooks/event_types/`</ApiRefLink>.
  </Step>
  <Step title="Verify signatures">
    Confirm each incoming webhook is from iwoca by checking the `X-IW-Signature` header — see [Security](/guides/webhooks/security).
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
Your webhook endpoint should respond with a `2xx` status code to confirm receipt.
Failed deliveries are retried up to 10 times over roughly 16 hours – see [retry behaviour](/guides/webhooks/security#retry-behaviour). Your subscription stays active either way; it is never disabled automatically.
</Warning>

## Events iwoca sends

Each event below is delivered as a `POST` to your configured URL. Follow the link for the exact payload schema. The list reflects the webhooks published in the version and locale you're currently viewing.
