A webhook is a simple HTTP callback, which uses a HTTP POST when an event happens. We use these webhooks to receive events to let us know new information about your email. Your Email Service Provider (ESP) will send us webhooks when your email is clicked, opened, etc. This gives you the ability to see all your email analytics in your Sendwithus dashboard.

Sendwithus is also able to redirect these events to an endpoint of your choosing. The webhooks are virtually unchanged, the only difference being that we add a few extra bits of Sendwithus related information to your webhook.

How do I relay webhook events to my server?

Click Delivery Settings on the navigation bar in your Sendwithus dashboard. Click on the Actions dropdown menu, and select “Settings” for the ESP account to relay the webhooks.

ESP settings

Enter a URL for Sendwithus to send webhooks too, and click Save when you are done.

Does Sendwithus forward all of my ESP’s webhooks?

Yes! All webhooks are forwarded to the endpoint you specify, even if the email didn’t originate from Sendwithus.

What do these webhooks look like?

The following are sample webhooks for their respective ESP. Note: Some of these samples do not include all properties.

How can I test my webhooks?

You can test and debug your webhooks using an external tool like ngrok. ngrok helps you create a public URL to expose a web site running locally to the internet. They also provide a real-time web interface where you can track HTTP traffic at http://localhost:4040. For more information on getting started with ngrok check their documentation.
