Webhook Request Log
Overview
Below is a business-focused explanation of the Webhook Request Log within Dafater.
Webhook Request Log – Business Overview
What the Webhook Request Log is used for
The Webhook Request Log is used to keep a clear business record of information exchanged between Dafater and external systems, such as partner platforms, payment providers, or customer-facing applications.
It acts as an activity register that shows when Dafater sends or receives automated messages to support real-time business processes.
From a business perspective, this document helps teams: - Confirm that information was successfully shared - Trace issues when external updates do not appear as expected - Maintain accountability for automated integrations
Prerequisites and setup requirements
Before the Webhook Request Log becomes useful, the following business arrangements should be in place: - Dafater is connected to one or more external systems for data exchange - Clear agreement on what business events trigger automated updates (such as approvals, payments, or status changes) - Defined ownership within the business for monitoring integrations and resolving exceptions
No day-to-day user setup is required, as records are created automatically once integrations are active.
Typical workflow and business process fit
In normal operations, the Webhook Request Log works quietly in the background:
- A business event occurs in Dafater (for example, a transaction is completed or a record is approved)
- Dafater automatically sends or receives information related to that event
- The interaction is recorded in the Webhook Request Log
- Business users review the log only when verification or troubleshooting is needed
This document does not interrupt daily work but supports smooth, automated operations across systems.
Key business scenarios where it is essential
The Webhook Request Log is especially important in situations such as: - Verifying that payments, confirmations, or updates were successfully shared with external partners - Investigating delays or mismatches between Dafater and other platforms - Supporting audits or compliance reviews by showing evidence of data exchange - Helping business support teams resolve customer or partner complaints faster
Important considerations for users
- The Webhook Request Log is primarily for review and oversight, not daily data entry
- Only authorized users should review or analyze these records, as they reflect system-level activity
- Regular checks can help identify recurring issues before they impact customers or partners
- The log supports transparency and trust but does not replace core business documents
In summary, the Webhook Request Log is a critical support document in Dafater that ensures visibility, reliability, and confidence in automated business interactions with external systems.
