How to set up the RevenueCat non_renewing_purchase webhook

- In the RevenueCat dashboard, open your project's Integrations > Webhooks and add a new webhook.
- Paste your webhook URL as the webhook URL.https://••••••••/•••••••• your personal URL, shown after install
- Send all events, or only NON_RENEWING_PURCHASE; the recipe ignores every other event type.
- Save, then click Send test event to confirm it arrives.
What runs when the webhook arrives
Studio calls handleRequest(request) with the incoming webhook and sends the message it returns. It's yours after install; change anything.
