Right now, error handling is a bit messy... Some endpoints primarily use
the `NotifyFailed` variant, which wraps another error, while in some places
where I need a leaf error type that does not wrap any error I use the
`Generic` variant, which only stores a string.
I could have used the `NotifyFailed` variant here, but that one would
not have allowed me to add additional context ("failed to render webhook ..."),
unless wrapping another `Generic` variant...

I don't have yet made any detailed plans on how to clean that up though.
