Webhooks think any non-200 is an error, even 204's

Hi,

 

I am sending Dropbox webhooks to an existing webhook endpoint which returns 204 responses to all requests. Dropbox sees this as an error, and then retries the webhook repeatedly.

 

A 204 status code is the most accurate one for my endpoint, as it doesn't return a request body. Could you update the webhooks to accept any 2XX code as succesful?

    Thanks for the post. I can't promise if or when the team would update the webhooks functionality to allow this, but I'll send it along as a feature request.
