Act on enrollments, completions and purchases the moment they happen, without losing any along the way. Guides to webhook handlers, verification, retries and real-time automation, written for systems that need to keep working long after launch.
Key concepts
Make sure every event you act on really came from your school. Teachable's payloads don't carry a signature, so the guides use a secret token in the webhook URL and confirm important events against the API before acting.
Teachable retries failed webhook deliveries up to five times. Handle duplicate events safely with idempotency keys, so a retry never charges, enrolls or triggers a downstream action twice.
Teachable sends events for enrollments, completions, purchases and changes to users. A reference to every event type, its payload, and the automations each one makes possible.
