The Message Sent Event

The "message sent" event is a webhook event that is triggered whenever an outgoing SMS blast is sent from your account. This event will happen in any of the following circumstances...

  • A standard outgoing text campaign is sent.
  • A standard outgoing text campaign is sent after being scheduled.
  • A single text message is sent to a user from the dashboard.

NOTE: This does not include auto replies. Auto replies are only sent when a new person subscribes. Those event details can be captured in the "New Subscriber" event.

Below is an example of the JSON data you'd receive from the "Message Sent" event.
