Question : How do I set up a webhook in Mailpro?

To set up a webhook, register an endpoint URL on your server that Mailpro can call whenever an email event happens — delivered, opened, clicked, bounced or unsubscribed — so your app receives that data in real time instead of polling for it. Webhooks work alongside the Mailpro API and send a small JSON payload to your URL each time an event fires.

What is a webhook?

A webhook is an automated message sent from one system to another when something happens. Instead of your application repeatedly asking Mailpro for updates, Mailpro pushes each event to your endpoint the moment it occurs. It is the event-driven counterpart to the email API, which you call on demand.

How to set one up

1. Create an endpoint on your server that accepts POST requests and returns a 200 response.
2. Register that endpoint URL and select the events you want (opens, clicks, bounces, unsubscribes).
3. Parse the JSON payload Mailpro sends and store or act on the event.
4. Send a test event and confirm your endpoint logs it, then secure the URL.
