GitHub Webhooks requests return 403
My GitHub webhooks for freya-fs/freya and freya-fs/arachne started returning 403 Unauthorized responses. I tried recreating them, but I continue to get these responses. What might be wrong? Other projects are continuing to work just fine.

Hi Ryan,
If you got to "New project" page - can you see those repos and add them as new projects?

I haven't tried. I already have the projects in the freya-fs org.

Looks like I get a 403 for pull requests coming from outside the freya-fs org. Is that expected?

Interesting note: freya-fs/arachne appears to have triggered builds on AppVeyor for branches in that repo, but freya-fs/freya did not do so. I'm very confused as to why I see 403 responses here when I don't see anything like this for other projects. Do I need to re-create the AppVeyor projects? These seem to have started on Oct 16 and were the norm on Oct 20.

That's right - you can see 403 on PR events only as there is a code getting PR details. You can't get 403 on regular push events as all the information is passed in webhook event.
Could you drop webhook payload for failing request?

How do I do that? Do you mean you want me to copy the payload here?

I just attempted to create a new project, and when I did, I had to re-authorize. Looks like things are working again. Strange.

Right, I thought that was the issue. Thanks for the update!
