The destination for an Item's webhooks comes from the webhook field on the link token creation call, so it is fixed per Item at the moment the user links. Changing the URL in your configuration does not move existing Items; they keep delivering to whatever URL was current when they were created.

The item webhook update endpoint changes it for one Item and triggers an acknowledgement webhook to the new endpoint as confirmation. Teams that move from a development tunnel URL to a production URL discover this when a subset of Items keeps posting to a dead host and those users silently stop syncing. Confirm by reading the webhook field back from the item get endpoint. Sweep existing Items with the update endpoint whenever the URL changes and verify by watching for the acknowledgement.
