I am currently using [v2.3.0.beta2 +46](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/compare/86fe423f5eb8aa0eb8534d06eeb5848678630412...tests-passed)
I have a webhook setup for post events. The only event I do not appear to see is post\_destroyed. I have testing deleting and restoring multiple posts and I see every post\_recovered event, but I do not see any events for the post being deleted.
To reproduce, create a webhook and enable post events. Delete a post on a topic that would trigger that webhook and see no delete event created.

Can you repro this @vinothkannans?

No, this is working fine for me in latest version. I’m able to see triggered `post_destroyed` events in URL `/admin/api/web_hooks/1/events`. @thisnthat did you checked the events list page?

I have, this is the process I used to test it with a snippet of the header and payload of each event

I will recommend you to look at the URL `/admin/api/web_hooks/WEBHOOK_ID/events` for more info. If a triggered webhook event is failed then it will have the details. Also look at the `/logs` at the time of `post_destroyed` event. If you provide more details about the fail it will help me to debug the issue.

I have reviewed /admin/api/web\_hooks/WEBHOOK\_ID/events and the details of the events are in my previous post. Event id 90 was apost\_ create, 91 post\_recovered, 92 post\_edited, 93 post recovered.
I tested again this morning. I reviewed the logs rails/production.log, rails/production\_errors.log, rails/unicorn.stderr.log, rails/unicorn.stdout.log,
This is a snippet from the access logs for the previously mentioned events

I also checked the /logs/ page and there was nothing related to this. To be sure I cleared the logs and tested it again and no error logs were generated.

I was able to track down the cause of this issue. The webhook I am using depends on a specific tag.
The issue appears to be in lib/post\_destroyer.rb. tag\_ids is not set on delete webhook events like it is when going through enqueue\_post\_hooks on the WebHook class. After making the following change, my destroy events started working correctly.
I replaced
```plaintext
WebHook.enqueue_hooks(:post, :post_destroyed,
id: @post.id,
category_id: @post&.topic&.category_id,
payload: payload
) if WebHook.active_web_hooks(:post).exists?
```
with
```plaintext
WebHook.enqueue_hooks(:post, :post_destroyed,
id: @post.id,
category_id: @post&.topic&.category_id,
tag_ids: @post&.topic&.tags&.pluck(:id),
payload: payload
) if WebHook.active_web_hooks(:post).exists?
```
