Steps
Configure a webhook listener under Configuration > Integration > Webhooks in Zenoti, selecting event types such as Invoice > Closed, Guest > Created/Updated/Deleted, or Guest Membership > Freeze/Cancel.
On each inbound POST to your endpoint, read the signature included in the HTTP headers before trusting the payload.
Parse the JSON body's event envelope fields — id, event_id, event_schema, event_resource, event_type, event_timestamp, and data — to identify what changed.
Use event_resource and event_type together (e.g., resource 'Invoice', type 'Invoice.Closed') to route the payload to the correct handler, since Zenoti reuses field names across many event types.
Return a success response promptly; consult Zenoti's Webhook Failure Handling guide for its retry behavior on non-2xx responses.
Known gotchas
Zenoti's webhook documentation states the header contains a verification signature but does not name a specific header or algorithm on the page fetched this session — confirm the exact header name/scheme in your Zenoti account's webhook setup screen before relying on it in production.
The event envelope's data object schema differs per event_resource/event_type, so you cannot assume one shared payload shape across event types.
