We recommend to read through Webhooks overview and Setting up webhooks articles before you proceed with this one.

Currently, you can subscribe to chat, customer, and message events only. Feel free to chat us with your feedback on the missing events you'd like to use.

All webhook events contain the same attributes, listed below.

Field	Type	Description
event	String	Chat or customer event type
eventData	Object	A container for the data associated with the event
attempts	Integer	Number of times this event has been attempted
lastAttemptAt	Date (UNIX timestamp)	The last time the event delivery was attempted
createdAt	Date (UNIX timestamp)	Date and time the event was created
id	String	Unique event id provided by HelpCrunch

🙋 Customer Events

Event Type	Description
customer.new	New customer added to your HelpCrunch account
customer.email_updated	Customer email updated. Changing to null value is considered as update.
customer.tags_changed	Customer's tags changed. Removing all tags is considered as update.
customer.unsubscribed	Customer unsubscribed from your emails
customer.subscribed	Customer subscribed to your emails
customer.blocked	Customer blocked by any of your team members
customer.unblocked	Customer unblocked by any of your team members
customer.deleted	Customer deleted from your HelpCrunch account

When the customer event occurs, HelpCrunch sends the HTTP request to the specified endpoint. You can extract basic customer information from the eventData structure in the request body (id, name, email, userId, unsubscribed) as well as all of your Custom Data attributes.

In order to get all the available customer data, use customer id from the event and call Get a single customer REST API method.
