Webhooks are typically sent when:
- A resource was created or updated.
- A request was initiated (such as a payment authorisation request, a refund request, or a funds transfer request).
- There was a funds movement (funds added to or deducted from balance accounts).
You can subscribe to Configuration, Payment method, Transfer, Negative balance warning, and Report webhooks, and differentiate the events based on the type. Some webhook types also include a data.status field that informs you of the outcome of the event.
