I just configured a rest hook subscription for contact.add, for a personal app, and was curious if it will expire at some point, or if it will stay verified until deleted.

If it does expire, when would that happen?

Thanks.

To my knowledge, and I see no documentation to contradict it, there is no expiration on the webhook once it’s been validated.

Hello @zach_stradling, rest hooks do not expire. The only case in which a configured rest hook will be disabled is if your service returns a `410` status code indicating that the resource is no longer available.
