Do you know of webhooks?
They are terrific: a way to extend and supercharge your newsletter, even if you're not a programmer. You can pipe them up to various endpoints in tools like Zapier or IFTTT to do things like:
- Send a tweet when you publish a new issue
- Send a Slack message when someone subscribes
- Send a text message when someone subscribes as a paid user
Today, I'm excited to announce a bit of house cleaning in the world of webhooks.
Gone are some deprecated webhooks:
draft.created(replaced byemail.created)scheduled_email.created(replaced byemail.created)scheduled_email.deleted(replaced byemail.deleted)
And in are two new ones:
email.status.changed, which fires whenever the 'status' (draft, scheduled, sent) of an email changessubscriber.clicked, which fires whenever a subscriber clicks a link in an email
You might be able to read between the lines on that last one a little bit. Coming soon in the land of automations: a way to, say, set tags or metadata onto your subscribers who click on certain links.
