Webhooks

Webhooks allow your systems to receive real-time notifications about call events, enabling integrations with CRMs, analytics, and other systems.

Implementation

Webhook Dispatcher

type WebhookDispatcher struct {
    endpoints []WebhookEndpoint
    client    *http.Client
    queue     chan WebhookEvent
}

type WebhookEndpoint struct {
    URL        string
    Events     []string
    Headers    map[string]string
    MaxRetries int
    BackoffMs  int
}

func (d *WebhookDispatcher) Dispatch(event WebhookEvent) {
    // Queue for async processing
    d.queue <- event
}

func (d *WebhookDispatcher) processQueue() {
    for event := range d.queue {
        for _, endpoint := range d.endpoints {
            if d.shouldSend(endpoint, event.Type) {
                go d.sendWithRetry(endpoint, event)
            }
        }
    }
}

func (d *WebhookDispatcher) sendWithRetry(endpoint WebhookEndpoint, event WebhookEvent) {
    payload, _ := json.Marshal(event)

    for attempt := 0; attempt <= endpoint.MaxRetries; attempt++ {
        req, _ := http.NewRequest("POST", endpoint.URL, bytes.NewReader(payload))
        req.Header.Set("Content-Type", "application/json")

        for key, value := range endpoint.Headers {
            req.Header.Set(key, value)
        }

        // Add signature for verification
        signature := d.signPayload(payload, endpoint.Secret)
        req.Header.Set("X-Webhook-Signature", signature)

        resp, err := d.client.Do(req)
        if err == nil && resp.StatusCode >= 200 && resp.StatusCode < 300 {
            return // Success
        }

        // Exponential backoff
        time.Sleep(time.Duration(endpoint.BackoffMs*(1<<attempt)) * time.Millisecond)
    }

    log.Printf("Webhook failed after %d retries: %s", endpoint.MaxRetries, endpoint.URL)
}

Signature Verification

Verify webhook authenticity:

// Sender side
func (d *WebhookDispatcher) signPayload(payload []byte, secret string) string {
    mac := hmac.New(sha256.New, []byte(secret))
    mac.Write(payload)
    return hex.EncodeToString(mac.Sum(nil))
}

// Receiver side
func verifyWebhook(r *http.Request, secret string) bool {
    signature := r.Header.Get("X-Webhook-Signature")
    if signature == "" {
        return false
    }

    body, _ := io.ReadAll(r.Body)
    r.Body = io.NopCloser(bytes.NewReader(body)) // Reset body

    expected := signPayload(body, secret)
    return hmac.Equal([]byte(signature), []byte(expected))
}

// Usage in handler
func webhookHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    if !verifyWebhook(r, os.Getenv("WEBHOOK_SECRET")) {
        http.Error(w, "Invalid signature", http.StatusUnauthorized)
        return
    }

    var event WebhookEvent
    json.NewDecoder(r.Body).Decode(&event)

    // Process event
    handleWebhookEvent(event)

    w.WriteHeader(http.StatusOK)
}

Integration Examples

CRM Integration

func handleCallEnded(event WebhookEvent) {
    data := event.Data.(CallEndedData)

    // Update CRM contact
    crm.UpdateContact(ContactUpdate{
        Phone:        data.CallerNumber,
        LastCallDate: event.Timestamp,
        CallDuration: data.Duration,
        Notes:        data.Summary.Topics,
        Sentiment:    data.Summary.Sentiment,
    })

    // Create activity
    crm.CreateActivity(Activity{
        Type:        "voice_call",
        Subject:     fmt.Sprintf("AI Call - %s", data.Summary.Outcome),
        Description: generateCallSummary(data),
    })
}

Analytics Integration

func handleTranscriptUpdated(event WebhookEvent) {
    data := event.Data.(TranscriptData)

    // Send to analytics
    analytics.Track(AnalyticsEvent{
        Event:      "conversation_turn",
        Properties: map[string]any{
            "call_id":    data.CallID,
            "role":       data.Role,
            "text":       data.Text,
            "confidence": data.Confidence,
        },
    })
}

Slack Alerts

func handleError(event WebhookEvent) {
    data := event.Data.(ErrorData)

    if data.Severity == "critical" {
        slack.PostMessage("#alerts", SlackMessage{
            Text: fmt.Sprintf("🚨 Voice Agent Error: %s\nCall: %s\nError: %s",
                data.AgentName, data.CallID, data.Message),
            Attachments: []Attachment{{
                Color: "danger",
                Fields: []Field{
                    {Title: "Agent", Value: data.AgentID},
                    {Title: "Error Type", Value: data.ErrorType},
                },
            }},
        })
    }
}

Retry Policy

Configure retry behavior for failed webhooks:

{
  "webhooks": {
    "url": "https://your-server.com/webhook",
    "retryPolicy": {
      "maxRetries": 5,
      "initialBackoffMs": 1000,
      "maxBackoffMs": 60000,
      "backoffMultiplier": 2
    }
  }
}

Best Practices

1. Respond Quickly

// Acknowledge immediately, process async
func webhookHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    var event WebhookEvent
    json.NewDecoder(r.Body).Decode(&event)

    // Queue for async processing
    eventQueue <- event

    // Respond immediately
    w.WriteHeader(http.StatusOK)
}

2. Idempotency

func handleEvent(event WebhookEvent) error {
    // Check if already processed
    if processed, _ := cache.Get(event.ID); processed {
        return nil // Already handled
    }

    // Process event
    err := processEvent(event)
    if err != nil {
        return err
    }

    // Mark as processed
    cache.Set(event.ID, true, 24*time.Hour)
    return nil
}

3. Error Handling

func webhookHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    var event WebhookEvent
    if err := json.NewDecoder(r.Body).Decode(&event); err != nil {
        http.Error(w, "Invalid payload", http.StatusBadRequest)
        return
    }

    if err := handleEvent(event); err != nil {
        // Return 500 to trigger retry
        http.Error(w, err.Error(), http.StatusInternalServerError)
        return
    }

    w.WriteHeader(http.StatusOK)
}

Testing Webhooks

# Test webhook locally with ngrok
ngrok http 3000

# Update webhook URL
curl -X PATCH https://api.edesy.in/agents/123 \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY" \
  -d '{"webhooks": {"url": "https://abc123.ngrok.io/webhook"}}'

# Make a test call and check webhook delivery
