Validating Payload Data

[BootsThunderclap]

Hi, I'm curious about how I could approach validating actual payload data and returning a conditional response based on that. As I understand it, when a webhook request is received, it'll first get routed through our custom signature validator, and that works exactly as expected.

It's the next part that I'm interested in, where the WebhookProfile runs shouldProcess(). I have a custom class that implements WebhookProfile, and I want to perform some data validation logic in there. Very simple stuff like "on the request, were these 3 fields included?" The important thing though, is I want to send a Bad Request response so the sending application knows that the request was rejected. The way I understand it is shouldProcess() is simply a filtering mechanism for whether or not to store (and ultimately process) the webhook request.

Looking at the WebhookProcessor code, it calls respondToValidWebhook(). If shouldProcess() returns false, is there any way to have some other respondToInvalidWebhook() method that can actually notify the sending application? Or am I just thinking about this the wrong way?
