What are webhooks?
Webhooks are a way for apps to communicate between them automatically. Webhooks are web-based meaning that they must communicate over a web protocol—HTTP in almost every cases. You can register a webhook by registering the URL to notify once given events occur.
What webhooks does Mobiniti support?
Inbound Messages
Unsubscribes
Bounced Messages
Delivery Report
Contact Status
Where do I place my webhooks in Mobiniti?
Step 1: Navigate to Settings and then Message Settings.
Step 2: Scroll about half way down the page until you see Webhook URL for Unsusbcribe Messages, Delivery Report, and Contact Status. Fill in the URL and than click Update Message Settings.
Step 3: Navigate to the Notifications sub tab underneath Settings to find the Bounces and Inbound Messages webhooks. Place in your URLs and then click Submit to save each.
What are Bounce webhook URL thresholds?
You can set the amount of bounces required on a per contact basis before this webhook is triggered. So for example, if set to 3, once a contact bounces 3 times, it would trigger the bounced webhook to be sent.
What is Unknown messages only under the Inbound webhook URLs?
You can filter the type of inbound messages sent via webhook to you with this setting. If checked on, you will only receive webhooks for actual responses to your outgoing messages. If left un-checked, you will receive ALL inbound messages including help and stop replies and keyword opt-ins.
Below is additional information on each webhook that is also accessible via our API documentation at the very bottom.
