Cannot fire Bigcommerce webhooks

so far I've managed to create two webhooks by using their official gem (https://github.com/bigcommerce/bigcommerce-api-ruby) with the following events:

The destination URL is a localhost tunnel managed by ngrok (the https) version.

status_update_hook = Bigcommerce::Webhook.create(connection: connection, headers: { is_active: true }, scope: 'store/order/statusUpdated', destination: 'https://myapp.ngrok.io/bigcommerce/notifications')
uninstall_hook = Bigcommerce::Webhook.create(connection: connection, headers: { is_active: true }, scope: 'store/app/uninstalled', destination:  'https://myapp.ngrok.io/bigcommerce/notifications')

The webhooks seems to be active and correctly created as I can retrieve and list them. 

Bigcommerce::Webhook.all(connection:connection)

I manually created an order in my store dashboard but no matter to which state or how many states I change it, no notification is fired. Am I missing something?

The exception that I'm seeing in the logs is:

ExceptionMessage: true is not a valid header value

The "is-active" flag should be sent as part of the request body--your headers, if you choose to include them, would be an arbitrary key value pair that you can check at runtime to verify the hook's origin.

Here's an example request body:

{
  "scope": "store/order/*",
  "headers": {
    "X-Custom-Auth-Header": "{secret_auth_password}"
  },
  "destination": "https://app.example.com/orders",
  "is_active": true
}

Hope this helps!
