Verifying Webhook functionality and data extraction

Hello,

I need some assistance to better understand webhooks. Specifically, I’m looking to verify if our webhooks are functioning correctly and get the data on how many successful passed since the beginning of the month.

  • How can I check if our webhooks are working properly?
    -What methods I can use to collect the data on the number of successful webhook deliveries over a period of time? I know that I can use APIs to do so, but I am pretty new to it and need some guidance.

Any insights, tips or resources you can share would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Anca

Hey Anca,

Where are you sending webhooks between? Out of Activecampaign?

I sometimes use tools like Zapier or Postman as a ‘webhook catcher’ when I want to do testing on the fly.

Hello,
Out of Active Campaign - just some contact info and tags.
I was looking into Postman, but I am very very new on using APIs.
So there is no know way of seeing how many events happened directly in a report in Active Campaign? Just by using APIs?

Thank you very much,
Anca

There’s no dedicated in-built report for tracking these types of events, but there’s a chance you could use automations to manage/contain the events and then use automation reporting to get the same thing.

However, it’s hard to say for sure without seeing exactly what you’re trying to do.
