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.

Please advise.

Thx

@MMannion ,

The Community won’t be able to open that link. Are you receiving any error messages?

@RMones , do you have thoughts on this?

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.

Hi @MMannion ,

Good you found a solution! It’s also good to know that you have to enable the webhook you want to use via the Developer Apps page.

Regards,

Ronald
