asyncapi_note: >-
  Salsify has a real, documented webhook event surface but publishes no AsyncAPI document
  and no machine-readable event catalog. Nothing has been fabricated - the catalog below is
  transcribed from the developer-hub webhook guides.

configuration:
  where: Salsify web application (list/subscription configuration, or the import configuration section)
  note: >-
    Webhooks are configured in the app, not via the API. An import webhook added after the
    import was created only takes effect on the next run.

  payload: Channel notification
  note: >-
    Listed by the webhook-signing guide as one of the four supported webhook categories;
    Salsify publishes no dedicated payload reference for it on the developer hub.
security:
  signing: asymmetric
  algorithm: SHA-256
  key_material: X.509 certificate
  verification_docs: https://developers.salsify.com/reference/webhook-signature-verification-algorithm
  certificate_caching_docs: https://developers.salsify.com/reference/certificate-caching
  guidance: >-
    Salsify instructs endpoint implementations to verify the digital signature on every
    request and to ignore any request that cannot be verified.
delivery:
  retries: 15 attempts over 48 hours
  backoff: exponential
  coalescing: >-
    Multiple updates to the same entity in a short window may be coalesced into a single
    webhook; a change that returns an entity to its original state may fire no webhook at all.
  ordering:
  - Multiple non-coalesced updates to the SAME entity are delivered in order.
  - There is NO ordering guarantee across different entities.
  list_edit_behavior: >-
    Adjusting and saving the filters on a smart list does not trigger webhooks for products
    that enter or leave the list; subsequent changes to those products do.
