API Webhooks

You can set up webhooks to receive a HTTP request every time an email is saved.

# Receive webhook

For each registered webhook, MailDeveloper sends a HTTP POST request to the specified endpoint. The request includes a unique webhook ID. See sample of the request payload below. The request has a 2 second timeout, during which the endpoint should reply with status 200.

{
  "webhook_id": "{webhook_id}",
  "token": "{token}"
}

Property	Explanation
`webhook_id`	Unique ID for retrieving webhook contents.
`token`	A randomly generated token.

# Retrieve webhook contents

After receiving the POST request, the next step is to receive the webhook contents by sending a GET request like below. Note that webhooks expire after 10 minutes, after which their contents can't be fetched anymore.

curl https://maildeveloper.com/webhook/{webhook_id}?token={token}
{
  "eventType": "emailSave",
  "emailId": "rWXkQZ",
  "emailName": "Newsletter Q1",
  "revisionHtml": "<!DOCTYPE...",
  "revisionIndex": 14
}

Property	Explanation
`eventType`	Static value, always `"emailSave"`.
`emailId`	Unique ID of the email which was saved.
`emailName`	Textual name of the email which was saved.
`revisionHtml`	HTML for the email which was saved.
`revisionIndex`	Sequential numerical index of the revision. It can be used to compare which revision is the newest (larger number means newer revision).
