Email webhooks push delivery events to your app the moment they happen — no polling. They turn email from fire-and-forget into a two-way signal you can build on.

Events worth handling

  • delivered — the provider accepted the message.
  • bounced — remove or flag the address.
  • complained — suppress immediately.
  • opened / clicked — feed engagement data.

Handle them reliably

Respond 2xx fast and process asynchronously. Verify the signature so no one can forge events, and make your handler idempotent — providers retry, so the same event may arrive twice.
