🆕 Consume webhooks events from third party services to send emails.

Common examples:

- A successful payment on Stripe.
- A new pull request on GitHub.
- A new user account created on Auth0.
- An new order on Shopify.
- A shipping status change on Shippo.

By creating a webhook endpoint URL on Waypoint, you can listen for these key events and trigger associated workflows (and resulting emails).

🆕 Today we are releasing one of our most requested features – webhooks. Webhooks are how web services notify each other of events. On Waypoint, customers can use webhooks take action after an email event like a 'bounce' or 'delivery' has happened.

For example, teams can post a notification in a Slack channel whenever an email bounces or is marked as spam.

Add your custom webhook endpoint URLs or use our Slack and Zapier integrations to make it even easier to connect and transform your data as needed.
