Typeform Webhooks

Version 1.0.0

AsyncAPI description of Typeform's webhook surface. Typeform delivers a single event type (`form_response`) via HTTP POST to a subscriber-configured HTTPS URL every time a respondent submits a typeform. Payloads can be signed with HMAC-SHA256 using a per-webhook shared secret; when signing is enabled the signature is delivered in the `Typeform-Signature` header in the form `sha256=`. Subscribers must respond with a 2XX status code within 30 seconds. Failed deliveries are retried per Typeform's policy (immediate disable on 404/410; 2-3 minute retries for 10 hours on 408/423/429/503; otherwise up to 5 retries at 5m, 10m, 20m, 1h, 2h, 3h, 4h).
