| $webhook\_id | param | int | yes | Webhook configuration ID. |
| $reason | param | array|null | — | The failed condition rule, or \`null\` if the reason is unavailable. |

/ Examples

Count skipped events in a custom stats table

```
add_action( 'fswa_skipped', function ( $trigger, $webhook_id, $reason ) {
    global $wpdb;
    $wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare(
        "INSERT INTO {$wpdb->prefix}my_skip_stats (webhook_id, trigger_name, skipped_at)
         VALUES (%d, %s, NOW())",
        $webhook_id, $trigger
    ) );
