Is it possible to re-enable webhook via API?

At the moment, if your app reports more than 35 errors in the past 10 minutes and exceeds a 4.5% failure rate, your webhook will be disabled. As per this page: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/ref...

    No, unfortunately there isn't a programmatic way to re-enable webhooks, but I'll pass this along as a feature request.

Thanks for your respond.  

Is there anything else I could do to protect my webhook from being disabled? Is there some way of configuring dropbox app conole so it

could check my webhook endpoint again (to see if recovered).   

 

As I could see, at the moment, if app is down for just a few minutes, webhook gets permananetly disabled and needs human manual button click to recover. This is a huge problem when you run it in production.

No, there isn't a way to configure it like that. We'll consider that a feature request as well. Thanks for the feedback!
