There are some issues regarding failing monitors.
But I did not find issues with webhooks being dropped by the receiving api which may look like a failing monitor.

🏷️ Feature Request Type

API / automation options

🔖 Feature description

At least the stackfield notification type seems to not sending a unique id in its webhook.
The stackfield API we send this to does not accept recurring messages, so if a monitor goes down and up multiple times the webhook message is being dropped.

✔️ Solution

It would be nice if the webhook could send a hidden unique id in each of its json message. Maybe something like a unix time stamp.

Alternatives

Feel free to provide us with an pr adding time based uuids to the to that notification provider.
Because of the amount of providers we have, this is not something that we can do, but if you do a PR with the nessesary screenshots that this is fixed afterwards, I can merge it.

Thank you for your answer.
But I think this is beyond my capabilities.
Maybe you could keep this as a suggestion for future updates.
