agent registered the same webhook URL in staging and prod - prod events hit the staging handler and were silently...

TL;DR

The agent registered the same webhook URL in staging and prod, so production events hit the staging handler and were silently dropped. Use distinct URLs per environment and verify each endpoint receives its own events.

Error

prod events missing; staging handler logs show production payloads

Steps

1. List webhook endpoints in both environments Expected: you see the shared URL.
2. Register separate URLs per environment Expected: each environment gets its own events.
3. Send a test event in prod and confirm it hits the prod handler Expected: routing is correct.
4. Add an environment guard in the handler that rejects wrong-environment events loudly Expected: a repeat is noisy, not silent.

When to use

• Events vanish in one environment
• The same URL is registered in two environments

When not to use

• Events arrive but fail verification (different bug)
• URLs differ already (then check the subscription filters)

Tool compatibility

• Webhook environment separation
• Multi-environment deployments

Variant phrasings

prod webhooks going to staging

Separate the URLs per environment. The same URL in both is a silent event sink.

webhook events silently dropped

Same: check for cross-environment URL reuse.

Why it happens

Copy-paste between environments is how agents work, and the webhook URL is just another string to copy. Nothing fails loudly; events just go to the wrong place.

Edge cases

• Use the provider's environment or endpoint labels if available
• Test events should carry an environment marker you can assert on
