Webhook test returning 500 Error

[bkucenski]

Testing from

https://app.hubspot.com/developer/5129297/application/183759/webhooks

The Test subscription URL is

https://reports.instituteforsupplymanagement.org/api/hubspot/transaction.json

This works just fine when using the Workflow to create a contact. But every time the webhook is triggered through the app, it fails and gives no useful error information in the logs.

Thanks for this feedback, @bkucenski! I'll make a note and keep an eye out for these types of issues going forward.

[LiamJohannes]

@IsaacTakushi has there been any resolution or findings on this? I am suffering from the same issues as explained above. My server side is also using a wildcard SSL certificate issued by GoDaddy.

[IsaacTakushi]

Hi, @LiamJohannes.

I don't have an update to report on this, but let's continue the conversation in this thread.

[narainsagar]

Hello Community, 

I am having the same issue while creating webhook and test returns 500 error..

Here's my webhook POST method url:

https://staging.dotandlinelearning.com/backend/api/hubspot/webhook

^ This POST method actually fetches the deal information and associated contact information from the payload->objectId and saves information into my DB table..

Here's the test response:

{ "statusCode": 500 }

You may also check this screenshot: 

webhook test

Following is my SSL certificate information screenshot:

UPDATED: 

Moreover; I also have changed the ssl certificate from wildcard to single site ssl. and it still doesn't work i.e., returning the same 500 error.

P.S. Here's the single site SSL info:

I 'd like this be working as soon as possible, could anyone please help me fix this issue.

Thanks.

[IsaacTakushi]

Hi, @narainsagar.

I'm sorry to hear that you're encountering these 500 errors, even after trying the recommendations above.

I haven't diagnosed the cause yet, but could you help me by answering a few clarifying questions?

1. Are you able to successfully POST the sample data through a REST client like Postman?
2. Per the original poster's comment, does the same webhook URL work in a workflow webhook action? You should have access to workflows in your developer test account ending in 9821.

[du-it]

I have a similar problem: I always get a 'Connection refused':

'Webhook attempt failed due to a refused connection.'

I can reach the endpoint from Postman successfully but when doing some property changes in HubSpot I find the failed notification under monitoring/webhooks.

[IsaacTakushi]

Hey, @du-it.

I've responded in this other thread.

[bkucenski · Accepted solution]

The issue appears to be that Hubspot does not like the Wildcard SSL certificate. Or doesn't like GoDaddy's Certificate Authority which is less likely.

Setting up a second domain with a single site SSL using Let's Encrypt took care of the issue.

I'm getting the same error when using

https://webhook.site/18f8faca-d643-4885-8433-51fed2180fb9

as the end point. It's saying "connection refused"

[bkucenski]

I realized I had the wrong endpoint in the second test, it works with

https://webhook.site/18f8faca-d643-4885-8433-51fed2180fb9

it also works with

https://pursepoor.com

Both sites use Let's Encrypt for the SSL certs.

However, it doesn't work with

https://reports.instituteforsupplymanagement.org/api/hubspot/transaction

which uses GoDaddy as the issuer of the SSL Cert.

It appears as though the issue is that HubSpot is not properly configured to respect certificates
