Schema: Webhook
status is the provider's live state: active delivers, disabled does not (set by you or by the provider after persistent failures), pending means creation or removal is unconfirmed, unknown means the provider could not be read or no longer has the endpoint. pending_operation is distinct from status and names unconfirmed work. Secrets never appear here.
