Webhook Format

Every PowerEmailTES webhook uses the same general data format, regardless of the event type. The webhook request is a standard POST request with a single parameter (currently) - PowerEmailtes_events.

The PowerEmailtes_events parameter contains a JSON-encoded array of webhook events, up to a maximum of 1000 events. Each element in the array is a single event, such as an open, click, or delivered event.

Webhook Authentication

PowerEmailTES signs webhook requests so you can (optionally) verify that requests are generated by PowerEmailTES and not a third-party pretending to be PowerEmailTES. If your application exposes sensitive data, you may want to be sure the requests are coming from PowerEmailTES. This isn't required, but offers an additional layer of verification.

Verifying Request Signatures

PowerEmailTES includes an additional HTTP header with webhook POST requests, X-PowerEmailTES-SIGNATURE, which will contain the signature for the request. To verify a webhook request, generate a signature using the same key that PowerEmailTES uses and compare that to the value of the X-PowerEmailTES-SIGNATURE header.

Get your webhook authentication key

When you create a webhook, a key is automatically generated. You can view and reset the key from the Webhooks page in your account.

Generate a signature

In your code that receives or processes webhook requests:

1. Create a string with the webhook's URL, exactly as you entered it in PowerEmailTES (including any query strings, if applicable). PowerEmailTES always signs webhook requests with the exact URL you provided when you configured the webhook. A difference as small as including or removing a trailing slash will prevent the signature from validating.

2. Sort the request's POST variables alphabetically by key.

3. Append each POST variable's key and value to the URL string, with no delimiter.

4. Hash the resulting string with HMAC-SHA1, using your webhook's authentication key to generate a binary signature.

5. Base64 encode the binary signature

6. Compare the binary signature that you generated to the signature provided in the X-PowerEmailTES-SIGNATURE HTTP header.


Note: Some HMAC implementations can generate either a binary or hexadecimal signature. PowerEmailTES generates a binary signature and then Base64-encodes it; using a hexadecimal signature will not work.

Example PHP implementation

/**
* Generates a base64-encoded signature for a PowerEmailTES webhook request.
* @param string $webhook_key the webhook's authentication key
* @param string $url the webhook url
* @param array $params the request's POST parameters
*/
function generateSignature ($webhook_key, $url, $params) {
$signed_data = $url;
ksort($params);
foreach ($params as $key => $value) {
$signed_data .= $key;
$signed_data .= $value;
}

return base64_encode(hash_hmac ('sha1', $signed_data, $webhook_key, true));
}

Considerations

You can reset a webhook's authentication key at any time. PowerEmailTES will immediately begin using the new key to sign requests. To ensure that you don't lose any webhook batches between the time you reset your key and when you update your application to start using that new key, your webhook processor should reject batches with failed signatures with a non-200 status code. PowerEmailTES will queue the batch and retry later, which will give you time to update your application with the new key.
