Which event would you listen for to remind about an upcoming bill?

• C. invoice.paid
• D. invoice.upcoming

Answer: (D)

Webhooks let your integration react to events in the billing lifecycle, especially when an invoice is approaching. To remind a customer about an upcoming bill, you want the event that indicates an invoice is about to be generated for the next billing period. That event fires before the actual invoice is created, giving you a timely moment to send a reminder or show due-date information. The other events occur after different steps: a payment has succeeded indicates the charge completed; an invoice was created signals the invoice document exists but doesn’t mark a pre-bill reminder window; and an invoice was paid means the invoice was settled.
