Server Callbacks Failing
Checklist

Rate Limit Issues
Webhook Rate Limits
VotePipe has a rate limit of 500 requests/minute per organization. If you're hitting this limit:
- Check for multiple webhook configurations pointing to the same provider
- Verify server lists aren't sending excessive webhook requests
- Contact support if you need a higher limit
Authentication Errors
Provider Authentication
- Double-check the secret/key matches exactly (no extra spaces)
- For HMAC providers, verify the signature algorithm matches
- Regenerate the secret if needed (update both VotePipe and server list)
- Check provider-specific authentication requirements
