# WordPress Webhook Smart Retry in Action

Failed delivery → exponential backoff → re-delivery

A 50-second screencast capturing a complete webhook retry cycle using Webhook Actions. A webhook fires to a temporarily unavailable endpoint — the plugin logs the failure, queues a retry with exponential backoff (1 min → 2 min → 4 min), and successfully re-delivers when the endpoint recovers. The Event Log shows each attempt with HTTP status code and response time.
