Docsumo webhooks: status callbacks beat polling the document status endpoint

TL;DR

Configure a webhook instead of polling for document status; you get notified on uploaded, processed, and reviewed transitions. Route the payload's document identifiers straight into your downstream job. Keep a status poll as a fallback in case a webhook delivery fails.

Use this when you run into the situation in the title.

When not to use this skill: unrelated tasks. It covers only the procedure above.

Compatibility

The steps above apply to the commands named in them. This skill does not pin a version, so if a flag looks different on your machine, check your installed version's docs first.
