Find the Webhooks Pointed at Nothing
Command note: A dead webhook doesn't throw an error — it just keeps firing into silence, forever.
Every sub-account accumulates webhooks nobody remembers wiring: a lead-scoring tool the client swapped out, a Zapier zap someone rebuilt under a different URL, a vendor that shut down last spring. GoHighLevel never checks whether the other end is still listening. It sends the payload and moves on. Nobody notices until a client asks why a system "stopped getting leads" and the honest answer is a webhook that's been failing quietly for months.
Where this hides:
• Webhooks wired during onboarding to a tool the client has since replaced
• One-off campaign webhooks that were never removed after the campaign ended
• Webhooks pointed at a personal Zapier/Make account an employee who left set up
• Duplicate webhooks left behind when a workflow was cloned and repointed
Run this today:
1) List every webhook configured on the sub-account
2) For each one, check the target: does that tool or integration still exist, and does anyone here still use it?
3) Confirm the endpoint is actually receiving — ping it or ask the vendor
4) Delete anything pointed at a dead system; "it's not hurting anything" is how these pile up
5) Log what survives: what it's for, who owns the receiving end, when you last verified it
A webhook doesn't fail loud. It just quietly stops mattering, and nobody tells you.
