  1. Idempotent requests

    At the moment, its rather difficult to recover from a network interruption that happens when you send the request to Xero API, and you loose the connection before you receive the response from Xero. There is a fair number of reasons why this could happen at any time.
    In such a situation you really have no way of knowing if your request was even sent fully, or if it was received by Xero, nor what was Xero's response.

    This is not specific to Xero, as all APIs out there have this same problem, as its simply how the web works.

  2. Add a "Retry now" button to force webhooks in "Retry" status

    If the webhook listener goes offline, the webhook server will try to send the data with increasing delays up to 24 hours where it will stop.

    The issue is that if our listener crashes during an extended period of time, we might have to wait for an extra long period of time before it is retried.

    Adding a "Retry now" button would allow devs/admins to restore the webhook to their "OK" status much earlier (ie. as soon as the listener has been fixed).
