Mandrill Integration

What can I see with Webhooks on Mandrill?

Webhooks can be triggered when an email is sent, opened, clicked, etc. Message event webhooks have several types of events. For example:

• You can trigger a webhook when a message has been sent successfully.
• You can create a webhook when a recipient opened a message. or
• The message has hard bounced.

You can see a list of events you can enable in the picture bellow.
