I have seen several other posts with the same (or similar) title.
New webhook. Subscribes to “contact.creation”. Works when sending a test message. When a contact is created (via a form, but surely this shouldn’t matter), no event is fired.
The app concerned is for our own internal purposes only. We won’t be making it generally available.
My posting of the link shows my newbie status.
The answer, it turns out, is that the app needs to go through the OAuth flow before it can receive webhook invocations. I had naïvely thought that this process was only necessary for apps destined for the Hubspot market place; whereas my app is for internal use only.
Nevertheless, thanks for the response.
