Introducing Webhooks

Imagine you’re waiting for an important document to be signed. The anticipation can be nerve-wracking—you need to know the moment it’s completed. In the world of electronic signatures, staying updated in real-time is crucial. This is where SignatureAPI’s new webhooks feature shines, ensuring you know exactly what’s happening with your envelopes at all times.

Meet Webhooks

Webhooks are like little messengers that keep your backend updated in real-time. Instead of constantly checking if a document is signed or if an email bounced, webhooks notify you instantly when these events happen. This means your app can react right away, making everything run smoother and faster.

Why You’ll Love This Feature

With webhooks, you don’t have to guess or wait. You get real-time updates, which means you can automate responses, keep your users informed, and fix issues quickly. It’s all about making your app more efficient and user-friendly.

What’s in the Webhooks Feature?

Here’s what you can expect from SignatureAPI’s webhooks:

• Instant Event Updates: Get notified the moment something important happens—like when a document is signed, an envelope is completed, or a deliverable is ready.
• Simple Setup: Register your webhook endpoint in the SignatureAPI Dashboard. Choose the events you want updates on and set up different endpoints for test and live environments.
• Reliable Notifications: Events are sent via POST requests to your endpoint.
• Retry Mechanism: If the notification doesn’t go through, SignatureAPI will keep trying for up to 48 hours, making sure you don’t miss a thing.

How to Get Started

1. Register Your Endpoint: Go to the Dashboard and enter the URL where you want to receive notifications.
2. Choose Events: Select which events you want to be notified about—like document signing, envelope completion, and more.
3. Set Up Your Endpoint: Make sure your endpoint can handle the POST requests and respond with a status code in the 2XX range.
4. Test and Launch: Test everything in the test environment before switching to live.

Embrace Real-Time Efficiency

Webhooks aren’t just a cool feature—they’re a game-changer for making your app responsive and efficient. By integrating webhooks, you’ll stay updated, react faster, and provide a smoother experience for your users.
