We have a Workflow that captures a Forms Submission then sends the created Contact to a WebHook HTTP Endpoint (an Azure HTTP Function).

When I submit a a Form I see the Contact being created and enrolled in the Workflow then the Webhook Trigger fires but fails with a 401 (see second image) BUT the workflow still Completes with a success instead of retrying the Trigger webhook

Why is the Workflow marked as a Success even when the Webhook Trigger fails?

Ive actually just found this in another post in relation to WebHook HTTP Responses : https://community.hubspot.com/t5/APIs-Integrations/Webhooks-response/td-p/277558 .

  • 400/401/403/404/405 - If you respond with any of these, HubSpot will not retry the webhook, so you should only respond with one of these codes if you do not want the notification.

Mine was getting a 401 which means:
Unauthorized client error status response code indicates that the client request has not been completed because it lacks valid authentication credentials for the requested resource
It seems strange that the WebHook deems this as a success and not a fail but it is what it is!
