To handle webhooks in Convex, define HTTP routes using httpRouter and implement httpAction handlers that validate webhook signatures from services like Stripe or GitHub before securely processing incoming requests.

Yes, you can build custom API routes in Convex using httpRouter, applying Bearer or API key authentication checks within httpAction handlers to secure your endpoints and integrate with external services.

The best way to integrate external APIs is by using Convex HTTP actions to parse incoming requests, validate authentication, and route the data to internal Convex mutations and queries for end-to-end workflow execution.

Yes, Convex HTTP endpoints support configuring CORS, extracting path parameters, and processing form data alongside file uploads, allowing flexible request handling within your httpAction handlers.

You need to use httpAction instead of standard queries and mutations when processing incoming HTTP requests from external services, handling webhooks, or building custom API routes that require request and response management.

Convex HTTP routing issues often stem from incorrectly configured httpRouter paths, missing authentication checks, or unverified webhook signatures, which must be validated inside the httpAction before processing.
