We usually publish a weekly update on Friday, but this week, we didn’t want to wait till then to tell you what you can start doing with Mailgun today. We’ve just released our new beta webhook API so that you can programmatically manage webhooks for all your domains! Our new webhook API, now in private beta, comes on the heels of two other much-requested webhooks features: domain-level webhooks and easy testing of webhook endpoints. Read on for the details, and email us at beta@mailgun.net if you’d like to gain access to try it out.
The new Webhooks API is available for the following events and allows you to perform the following operations.
Available operations
The new webhooks API was created to extend the functionality that we introduced a couple of weeks ago with the new Domains API, also in private Beta. Together, these new APIs let you set up and manage large scale applications that let your own end customers send completely white-labeled emails via your platform.

You can use either SMTP or the HTTP API to send emails. For tracking we offer both push (webhooks) and pull (APIs) methods to access the data. If you would like us to post the data to your URL as it happens, here are some specific examples of additional things that you can do when webhooks are enabled:
Tie email data to custom data you have stored in your main customer database
We hope you enjoy using our new Beta APIs. Email us at beta@mailgun.net if you’d like access and please, let us know what you think.
Happy emailing,
The Mailgunners
