WebHooks

WebHook is a mechanism for receiving notifications about events. To add a webhook, go to "Account settings" → "API."

Specify a URL to send notifications to and select events you would like to be notified about.

List of events the webhook can notify you about with our email service:

Marked as spam
Email opened
Click-through
New subscriber
Email address deleted from the mailing list
Subscriber opted-out
Campaign status changed

When a webhook is triggered, data is sent to the specified URL:

Data type: JSON
Request type: POST

The data is sent every minute or when the event count reaches 100.

The primary data format for a request:

[
  {
    "event": "event_name",
    "timestamp": 1490954061,
    "recipient": "john.doe@sendpulse.com",
    "sender": "doe.john@sendpulse.com",
    "subject": "hello world" 
  }
]

In a case when there are several events, they will be grouped in one or several requests

[
  {
    "timestamp": 1496827422,
    "event": "delete",
    "book_id": "490686",
