Webhooks

Create a webhook endpoint 

A webhook endpoint must have a url and a list of enabled_events. You may optionally specify the Boolean connect parameter. If set to true, then a Connect webhook endpoint that notifies the specified url about events from all connected accounts is created; otherwise an account webhook endpoint that notifies the specified url only about events from your account is created. You can also create webhook endpoints in the webhooks settings section of the Dashboard.

  • enabled_eventsarray of enumsRequired

    The list of events to enable for this endpoint. You may specify ['*'] to enable all events, except those that require explicit selection.

    Occurs whenever a user authorizes an application. Sent to the related application only.

    account.application.deauthorized

    Occurs whenever a user deauthorizes an application. Sent to the related application only.
