🛠️ Refactor suggestion

Add null safety for event_attributes extraction.

The code assumes payload.event_attributes exists, but it should handle cases where this property might be missing from older webhook payloads to maintain backward compatibility.

Apply this diff to add null safety:

-    event_attributes: payload.event_attributes,
+    event_attributes: payload.event_attributes || { http_request: { client_ip: '', user_agent: '' } },

Or make the property optional in the type definition if it's acceptable for it to be undefined.

📝 Committable suggestion

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

event_attributes: payload.event_attributes || { http_request: { client_ip: '', user_agent: '' } },
🤖 Prompt for AI Agents 
In packages/backend/src/webhooks.ts at line 93, the code accesses
payload.event_attributes without checking if it exists, which can cause errors
with older webhook payloads. To fix this, add a null check or use optional
chaining when extracting event_attributes to safely handle cases where it might
be undefined. Alternatively, update the type definition to make event_attributes
optional if that aligns with the expected data structure.
