# Verification failed event

`POST verification.failed` (webhook)

Fired when a managed-OTP verification is exhausted (the maximum number
of wrong code attempts was reached).

## Payload

- object
  - `id` string
  - `event` 'verification.failed'
  - `timestamp` string, date-time — UTC time at which Zernio generated this event (set once when the event payload is built, before delivery is queued). Retries and redeliveries keep the original value, so it reflects the event, not the delivery attempt.
  - `verification` object
    - `verificationId` string
    - `channel` 'sms'
    - `to` string
  - `reason` 'max_attempts_reached'

## Acknowledgement `200`
