I’m a product manager and my team is building a UI to manage Webhooks and external Subscribers. I have questions for you Software Engineers that use Webhooks!

Some context: I work at a company that provides a platform. We have 3 parties that will interact with these webhooks:

  1. My company itself. We will build the webhooks.

  2. Our clients. They use our platform to store their data and operate their businesses. They publish the webhooks.

  3. Our vendors. They support our clients by providing point solutions my company will not build. They are the subscribers.

MY QUESTIONS:

Our first UI assumed that all Subscribers would have a single URL to consume our webhook messages.

I've since heard that some subscribers (vendors in our case) prefer to have unique URLs for every webhook, but regardless of publisher. Example: My company provides 20 webhooks, so the vendor/subscriber would have 20 URLs to listen across all publishers. Is this a valid use case?

I've also since heard that some companies prefer to have unique URLs for every webhook AND publisher. Example: My company provides 20 webhooks, we have 20 clients (publishers), so the vendor/subscriber could potentially have 400 URLs to listen for messages. More likely, I'm guessing there is a highly important publisher that the subscriber wants a unique URL for. Is this a valid use case?

Thank you for your help!!
