Email via Webhook

Webhooks are powerful ways to trigger an action programmatically in other applications. A Webhook is nothing but an API call made by a system to some other system. Most of the modern email service providers supports an API which can be called to trigger an email using their services. Blueshift’s webhook capabilities for email allows you to connect such email service provider and trigger email messages from Blueshift’s campaign journey.

Blueshift will automatically receive impression data for the emails sent using your ESP integration and associate so that you can track performance at the campaign and customer level and apply the latest campaign engagement data to trigger next steps in the customer journey.
