Hi @duncan

The error is not from Retell AI — it’s from your webhook server. Your server is returning a 403 Forbidden with "user is not authorized" when Retell tries to send webhook events (transcript_updated, call_ended, call_analyzed) to your endpoint.

Your webhook endpoint has authentication/authorization that is rejecting Retell’s requests.

Thank You

so you mean to say that the webhooks events were unauthorized?we haven’t changed our codebase what might have caused the issue because we only saw it in one incident
