Webhooks


How to use webhooks

  • Webhooks are currently triggered at an organization-wide level. This means that events for all domains your organization has set up with Paubox will trigger a webhook notification.

Webhook fields

  • URL: You will need to provide an HTTPS URL which you own, to which you would like your webhook payload to be sent.
  • Event: The events notifications to which you would like to subscribe

Available Events

Event NameEvent Name Key ValueTrigger
Deliveredapi_mail_log_deliveredWhen message is delivered
Temporary Failureapi_mail_log_temporary_failureOn soft bounce of message
Permanent Failureapi_mail_log_permanent_failureOn hard bounce of message
Openedapi_mail_log_openedOn opening of message

Payloads

Every Webhook notification will include an event_name key, and a payload key. The type of payload you should expect is dependent on the data model that is triggering the webhook event.

The most common type of payload is the API Mail Log payload, which is structured as follows:

{
"event_name": "api_mail_log_permanent_failure",
"payload": {
"id": 5555555555,
"subject": "Hello from the Paubox Email API",
"header_message_id": "<XXX430aa-9b7c-42d5-9614-2e38f5a3f71f@XXXXXXXXX.com>",
"source_tracking_id": "XXXef39e-b376-4a44-b2b9-85bdb406dXXX",
"outbound_queue_id": "XXXyFY0y3Yz2XXX",
"time": "2022-04-18T20:27:25.379Z",
"from": "XXXXXX@XXXXXXX.com",
"to": "XXXXXXX@XXXXXXX.com",
"custom_headers": {
"X-Custom-Header": "value"
}
}
}
