Webhooks are used to obtain response data from Mandrill, such as whether your customer has subscribed or unsubscribed from your mailing. These data will be processed by CrossEngage and displayed in each campaign’s statistics. The generated data can be used to build user segments.
Your CrossEngage "Web tracking and response data API key" is needed for this Webhook configuration.
To fetch the "Web tracking and response data API key":
Log in to your CrossEngage account.
Navigate to Settings > System setup.
In the API keys section, copy the “Web tracking and response data API key”.
Paste your copied API key into the following URL instead of the placeholder "{webapikey}."
When finished, copy the adjusted URL.
