Data Sync Webhooks

We offers two data synchronized webhook events.

  1. The Data Synchronized event is fired when a data sync (initial and/or recurring) is completed. This webhook event should be used to get informed for when the business has completed syncing with all the event types within 1 webhook.
  2. The Data Per Type event is fired for the selected data types you have indicated within our Dashboard. Once the data has completed syncing for the specified data type, you will receive the webhook event. Note: that if you manually select all of the data types, then you will receive a webhook event for each individual type. See example below.
