Webhook Event Reference

Chirp delivers webhooks as HTTP POST requests to your endpoint whenever a subscribed event occurs. This page documents every event type across SMS, WhatsApp, and Calling, including the payload schema and when each event fires.

New events are opt-in. Existing webhook configurations only receive the events they were created with. To receive any of the events marked New below, update your webhook’s events array via the Update Webhook endpoint or the dashboard.

Delivery behavior

All events share the same delivery contract:

Property	Value
Method	`POST`
Content-Type	`application/json`
Timeout	5 seconds
Retry attempts	5 (exponential backoff)
Deduplication	Events may be delivered more than once; use `event` + payload IDs to deduplicate

Event categories

SMS Messages — inbound, sent, delivered, failed
WhatsApp Messages — inbound and outbound message status
WhatsApp Templates — template lifecycle
