Webhook distributions

A webhook enables Voucherify to send real-time updates to your app or URL endpoints. Updates are triggered by some event or action by Voucherify and sent to your URL via HTTP requests.

Instead of polling data from the endpoints, you can configure webhooks to get notified about triggered events, distribution channels, loyalty programs, and referral programs.

New webhooks (v2024-01-01) have been introduced in v20231205. The payload of the v2024-01-01 webhooks is significantly different from v2018-01-01 webhooks.

The events listed in the webhook section in Project settings are described in v2024-01-01 webhook documentation. The webhook documentation also describes the events used in distribution webhooks.

Distribution channel

Distributions send messages in response to some predefined actions (events) taken by the end-customer. A webhook can be a message channel in your distributions. As a result, when distribution conditions are met, a message is sent using the webhook. Read more about distributions.
