Documented steps

  1. Create a webhook endpoint (HTTPS) in the Resend dashboard and copy its signing secret (whsec_...)
  2. Resend delivers events as POST requests with headers svix-id, svix-timestamp, and svix-signature (format 'v1,<base64>')
  3. Verify with the Svix SDK: new Webhook(secret).verify(rawBody, {"svix-id":..., "svix-timestamp":..., "svix-signature":...})
  4. CRITICAL: verify against the RAW request body bytes — JSON-parsing and re-stringifying breaks the signature
  5. Respond 2xx quickly to acknowledge; non-2xx responses are retried by the delivery system
  6. Handle event types like email.sent, email.delivered, email.bounced, email.complained, email.opened, email.clicked
  7. Docs: https://resend.com/docs/dashboard/webhooks/verify-webhooks-requests
