Review Webhook Events
Last updated on Sep 19, 2026
Webhook events are triggered by key actions and changes within Advanced Billing, providing notifications about billing, Subscription, payment, and account activity. Each event carries a structured payload with the relevant data, so you can automate workflows, synchronize systems, or log activity for auditing and analysis.
How events map to actions
A single system event can trigger more than one webhook event. Creating a new Subscription, for example, typically fires both signup_success and payment_success, if a payment was necessary to start the Subscription.
Which events appear for your site depends on how it is configured. Some events only show up once a related feature is enabled, such as proforma_invoice_issued on Relationship Invoicing sites or prepaid_subscription_balance_changed on sites using prepaid Subscriptions. The definitive list for your own site is the checkbox list under Config > Settings > Webhooks.
Event reference
Every event Advanced Billing can send, with what triggers it and the payload it carries.

Statement events
At the end of every period, such as at renewal, either a statement_closed or a statement_settled webhook is triggered. statement_settled means the statement closed and payment was successfully received, or payment was not required. statement_closed means the statement closed but payment was not successfully received.
The two are not mutually exclusive over time. If you receive a statement_closed webhook for statement #3, you also receive a statement_settled webhook for statement #3 later if that statement becomes paid, for example after a dunning retry or a card update.
Payloads
The resource objects sent as payloads typically contain the same information as the corresponding API resource. Site payload objects include the site's id and subdomain.
