## Frequently asked questions
### How does Dispatched actually work?
Simple: You send us an HTTP POST request with your job details along with your API key. When the job is ready to be processed, we send an HTTP POST request to the webhook URL you've provided. That's it! View our documentation for more details.
### What happens if my webhook endpoint is down?
We implement automatic retries with exponential backoff. You can configure the number of retry attempts at both team and individual job levels. Limits apply based on your subscription plan.
### How do I monitor my jobs?
We provide a dashboard where you can view all your jobs' statuses, histories, and logs in real-time. Most subscription plans offer up to 90 days of history.
### Is there a maximum job duration?
Depending on your subscription plan, we have different maximum job durations.
