# Hooks API — Webhook Payloads

This article describes the payload Envoke delivers to your endpoint for each event type.

---

## Delivery Format

Envoke delivers webhook payloads as **HTTP POST** requests to your registered URL. The request body is always a **JSON array**, even when a single event is delivered.

```
POST https://your-endpoint.example.com/webhook
Content-Type: application/json

[ { ... event object ... } ]
```

Email activity events (`email_send`, `email_open`, `email_click`) may be batched — a single POST can contain multiple events from the same send or activity processing run. `email_bounce` events are batched when the failure happens while Envoke is sending (all such failures from one sending run arrive in one POST); bounces reported later by the recipient's mail server arrive one object per request. `email_spam_report` events deliver one object per request. `email_delivery` events, when they become available, will be batched. All other event types deliver exactly one object per request. Always read the body as an array.

On a non-2xx response, Envoke retries once after 10 minutes. If your endpoint returns HTTP 410, the subscription is automatically removed.

---

## Contact Events

### `new_contact`

Fires when a new contact is added to your account by any means (form, import, API, or manual entry). The payload is the full contact record — the same object the Contacts API returns for that contact.

**Payload fields:**

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `id` | integer | Envoke internal contact ID. |
| `external_id` | string | Envoke-generated 32-character hex identifier. |
| `remote_id` | string | Your system's identifier for this contact, if set. Empty string if not set. |
| `date_created` | string | Date and time the contact was created (`YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS`). |
| `first_name` | string | |
| `last_name` | string | |
| `title` | string | Job title or academic title. |
| `email` | string | |
| `company` | string | |
| `phone` | string | |
| `address_1` | string | |
| `address_2` | string | |
| `city` | string | |
| `province` | string | Province or state. |
| `postal_code` | string | |
| `country` | string | Two-letter ISO country code. |
| `website` | string | |
| `language` | string | Preferred language code (e.g. `"en"`, `"fr"`). |
| `feedback` | string | Internal notes field. |
| `consent_status` | string | Current consent type name (e.g. `"Express"`, `"Implied"`, `"No Consent"`). |
| `consent_description` | string | Description of how consent was obtained. |
| `consent_effective_date` | string | When the current consent became effective. |
| `consent_expiry` | string | When the consent expires, if applicable. Empty string if no expiry. |
| `interests` | array | Contact's interest group memberships. |
| `custom_fields` | array | Custom field values. |
| `autoresponders` | array | Autoresponder assignments. |
| `timestamp` | integer | Unix timestamp of when the contact was created. |

**Example scenario:** Northfield University subscribes to `new_contact` to sync incoming contacts to their student information system as soon as they appear in Envoke.

**Example payload:**

```json

    },
    "autoresponders": [],
    "timestamp": 1725352882
  }
]
```

### `consent_change`

Fires when a contact's consent status changes — for example, when they unsubscribe, re-subscribe, or their consent type is updated. The payload contains all the same fields as `new_contact` plus two additional fields that describe the reason for the change.

**Additional fields:**

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `unsubscribe_reason` | string | The unsubscribe reason category selected by the contact. Empty string if not set or if consent improved. |
| `unsubscribe_reason_detail` | string | Free-text detail provided by the contact at unsubscribe. Empty string if not provided. |

**Example scenario:** Northfield University subscribes to `consent_change` to update opt-out status in their alumni CRM when a contact unsubscribes.

**Example payload:**

```json
[
  {
    "id": 61048,
    "external_id": "9c4e2b871f3a5d0e6b82c7a14f3d9e02",
    "remote_id": "ALM-2008-4421",

    "custom_fields": {},
    "autoresponders": [],
    "timestamp": 1739884053,
    "unsubscribe_reason": "Too frequent",
    "unsubscribe_reason_detail": "I receive too many emails from this list."
  }
]
```

## Submission Events

All submission event types share the same payload structure. The `submission_type` field identifies the origin:

| Subscription type | `submission_type` value |
|---|---|
| `form_submission` | `"form_submission"` |
| `preference_page_submission` | `"preference_page_submission"` |
| `api_submission` | `"api_submission"` |
| `import_submission` | `"import_submission"` |
| `ui_submission` | `"ui_submission"` |
| `submission` | One of the five values above |

The generic `submission` type delivers the same payload as whichever specific type triggered the event. Subscribing to `submission` is equivalent to subscribing to all five specific types at once.

**Common payload fields:**

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `id` | string | Unique identifier for this submission event. |
| `contact_id` | integer | Envoke internal contact ID. |
| `contact_external_id` | string | Envoke-generated 32-character hex identifier for the contact. |
| `contact_remote_id` | string | Your system's identifier for this contact, if set. Empty string if not set. |
| `contact_created` | boolean | `true` if this submission created the contact; `false` if it updated an existing one. |
| `submission_type` | string | The submission origin. See the table above. |
| `submission_time` | string | Date and time of the submission (`YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS`). |
| `timestamp` | integer | Unix timestamp of the submission. |
| `first_name` | string | |
| `last_name` | string | |
| `title` | string | |
| `email` | string | |
| `company` | string | |
| `phone` | string | |

**Additional fields for `form_submission` only:**

### `email_bounce`

Fires when an email to a contact fails: the recipient's mail server bounces it, or Envoke's sending server cannot hand it over. Temporary deferrals, where the recipient's server asks Envoke to try again later, do not fire this event because the message may still be delivered. Includes the kind of bounce, the reason, and whether Envoke has stopped sending to the contact, in addition to the common fields.

**Additional fields:**

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `bounce_type` | string | The kind of failure. `"hard"`: the recipient's server permanently refused the message, for example because the address does not exist. `"soft"`: the recipient's server returned a failure that may not be permanent, for example a full mailbox. `"smtp_error"`: Envoke's sending server could not hand the message to the recipient's server. `"invalid_address"`: the address was refused as invalid at send time. `"rejected"`: the message was rejected before delivery. |
| `bounce_reason` | string | The diagnostic text reported for the failure, up to 255 characters, starting at the SMTP reply (for example `550 5.1.1 ...`). Raw SMTP transcript details are removed. May be an empty string. |
| `contact_blocked` | boolean | `true` when, after this failure, the contact's fail score is at or above your account's limit, so Envoke no longer sends email to this contact. It stays `true` for any later bounce while the contact remains over the limit. |

**Example scenario:** Northfield University subscribes to `email_bounce` filtered by `bounce_type` `hard` so their CRM can flag alumni whose email addresses no longer work.

### `email_spam_report`

Fires when a contact reports an email as spam. A `consent_change` event also fires for the same report; `email_spam_report` adds the message the contact reported. When a mailbox provider reports a complaint, only the contact the email was sent to fires this event, even if other contacts in your account share the same email address. Includes the source of the report in addition to the common fields.

**Additional fields:**

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `source` | string | Where the report came from. `"feedback_loop"`: the contact's mailbox provider forwarded the complaint, for example after the contact pressed "Report spam" in their inbox. `"envoke"`: the contact chose the report-spam option on the Envoke preference page. |

**Example scenario:** Northfield University subscribes to `email_spam_report` so their advancement team can review which messages draw complaints and suppress those alumni from future appeals.

```json
[
  {
    "activity_type": "email_spam_report",
    "timestamp": 1761148800,
    "message_id": 2048,

### `email_delivery`

> **Coming soon:** `email_delivery` is reserved for an upcoming release. You can create a subscription for it now, but no events are delivered yet.

Fires when the recipient's mail server accepts an email. Delivery events will be batched — a single POST may contain deliveries for many contacts. Includes the accepting server and its response in addition to the common fields.

**Additional fields:**

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `relay` | string | The host name of the mail server that accepted the message, for example `mx.example.com`. |
| `response` | string or null | The accepting server's response, up to 255 characters. `null` if not available. |

For this event, `timestamp` is the time the recipient's server accepted the message.

**Example scenario:** Northfield University subscribes to `email_delivery` to record proof of delivery for each tuition deadline notice sent to students.

```json

  {
    "activity_type": "email_delivery",
    "timestamp": 1761148803,
