An enterprise prospect asks whether you support webhooks. The answer decides the deal, so someone estimates the work: fire a POST when something happens. A week, maybe less.

That estimate is usually wrong, and it goes wrong in a predictable way. Sending the request is the easy part. The work is in everything around it, and most of that only shows up once the first version is running in production.

Here is the list, roughly in the order teams discover it. Use it to scope the build before you decide whether to build it at all.

You've built an amazing application. Users love it. Now they're asking: "Can you send webhooks when events happen?"

Maybe it's:

• An e-commerce platform where customers want order notifications and webhook delivery
• A SaaS tool where users need real-time webhook alerts
• An IoT system where devices trigger external workflows via webhooks
• A business application where events need webhook integration with other systems

The problem? Building a production-ready webhook delivery system from scratch takes weeks. Setting up webhook infrastructure, managing webhook queues, and handling webhook retries is complex.

The solution? Use this Codehooks.io webhook template and have webhook delivery running in 5 minutes.
