New features and enhancements

  • Webhook Exchange History to give API consumers access to the history of exchanges (requests/responses) that occurred between Streams and their webhook endpoint.
  • Webhook Testing Endpoint to enable API consumers to send test payloads to their webhook endpoint.

Important changes

It is important, especially when upgrading from an earlier version, to be aware of the following changes in the behavior or operation of the product in this new version.
