Introducing Webhooks

We're super excited to announce the arrival of our new webhooks system.

For the first time in transpond's you can niw create webhook routes for some of our most used actions.

What are Webhooks?

For the non tech-savvy amongst you, a webhook is a little packet of data that is sent from one system to another when something happens or changes. For example you send a campaign and a user opens the email. A millisecond after this happens transpond can send a packet of information detailing who opened the email, which campaign it was for and more to a URL of your choosing.

This is super handy for people building apps and integrations around the TranspondPlatform, but can also be pretty useful for keeping your own records up to date.

Getting started

We've made it pretty simple to start getting your webhooks in order. You can create, update, delete and list all webhooks for an account.

There's no limit on how many webhooks you fire up, and you can even specify individual groups to watch for changes and actions.

We've made the following webhooks available, and we are going to be introducing more over the next few days and weeks...

• CampaignSend
