Webhooks

Webhooks allow you to subscribe to real-time notifications about various events that occur in MailerLite. For example, when a new subscriber is added to your account, HTTP POST callback is sent to your provided URL with a payload containing the new subscriber. It allows you to get the most recent updates without constantly polling the API. You can see your existing webhooks, create new, update and delete them.

Available events

Event	Description
subscriber.created	Fires when a new subscriber is added to an account.
subscriber.updated	Fires when any of the subscriber's custom fields are updated.
subscriber.unsubscribed	Fires when a subscriber becomes unsubscribed.
subscriber.added_to_group	Fires when a subscriber is added to a group.
subscriber.removed_from_group	Fires when a subscriber is removed from a group.
subscriber.added_through_form	Fires when a subscriber is added though a form.
subscriber.bounced	Fires when an email address bounces.
subscriber.automation_triggered	Fires when subscriber starts automation.
subscriber.automation_completed	Fires when subscriber finishes automation.
spam.subscriber.spam_reported	Fires when subscriber marks a campaign as a spam.
campaign.sent	Fires when campaign is sent.

Security

Webhook requests include Signature header, its value is HMAC (sha256) which is generated from payload JSON using webhook's secret. You can check its validity in order to be guaranteed that a request is sent from our side.

An example of a function which produces a signature in PHP:

public function generateSignature(string $jsonPayload, string $secret): string
{
    return hash_hmac('sha256', $jsonPayload, $secret);
}
