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.
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.

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.
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.
