RESTful Paypal API WebHooks Simulator not working with Laravel

I'm developing an app using the Paypal Api and the webhooks simulator doesn't work. When I try to send an event, Paypal says it has been queued, "Your event has been successfully queued at October 20 2015, 17:36:26", but when I try to debug it (using Laravel's monolog) nothing shows up. I am using https with third party certificate and the credentials work (I can create an order), do webhooks need any other configuration? Are they the only way to see the status of an order? The Paypal documentation is a little bit confusing... Thank you!

I found the problem!

It turns out that Laravel was stopping the request because of the csrf protection, since Paypal's API request had no csrf token. disabling csrf protection on the URI of the webhook (this is done by placing the URI on the $except array of the VerifyCsrfToken class) solved it!
