Feature since v1.10.0

# Synchronous Execution

Optionally fire a webhook inline during the WordPress request, bypassing the queue for the first attempt.

Enable per-webhook to deliver the first attempt synchronously, blocking the current WordPress request. Useful when the response must be available immediately (e.g. to store a returned ID). If the synchronous attempt fails with a retryable error (5xx, transport), the job falls back to the async queue automatically. Non-retryable failures (4xx) are marked permanently failed inline.
