  • He returns Webhook success with a code 200 and plaintext 1.
  • He returns Webhook failure with a code 200 and a string tells its endpoint returned error 400.
  • the string didn't tell what exactly the error.

If the developer should have done something different then translate it to an appropriate code, 400 bad request or something
