Event Flows | Pushing Message Events to your Webhook

In order to push message_events to your webhook endpoint, you can follow these steps:

1. Setting up the JSON Data template
2. Set-up your (default) Flow
3. Create an Event Flow
4. Test

1. Setting up the JSON Data template

First you have to create a JSON Data template under Design -> Templates. Make sure to select JSON as your template type. Over here you will have place the following code:

<#if event??>
    <#assign archive = fetchMessageArchive(event.message.id) />
</#if>
${toJson(.main)}

• Description: Event to JSON
• Type: JSON data
• Edit: Add the code below

Press save!

2. Set-up your (default) Flow

Do you wish to report opens or clicks? Make sure to activate those Flowsteps in the flow before setting up your Event Flow. Otherwise these events will not be reported.

3. Create an Event Flow

1. Create an event flow (under Design -> Events)
2. Specify the Conditions (event types that you'll need to be pushed)
3. Add the template created in step 1 to the Event Flow Steps
4. Add an ExternalData (read more on ExternalData) Flowstep to the Event Flow Steps
5. In the Flowstep, add URL (the webhook to POST to):
   • Format: Auto-detect
   • Under Advanced, add the following:
     • Request Method: POST
     • Header name: Content-Type
     • Header value: application/json
     • Request body: 

       ${toJson(event)}

The Event Flow should look as follows:

4. Test

An easy way to test and view what data is sent to the endpoint is using https://webhook.site/ as endpoint.
