Webhooks: opens
Copernica can rewrite image links in emails to track opens. If this option is enabled the image will be downloaded from our server instead of yours, allowing Copernica to track the opens of the image and therefore the email. This way we can notify you through our statistics or a WebHook.
If you set up a WebHook for opens, the Marketing Suite notifies you in realtime about each registered image download. For each open that we monitor we send a HTTP POST call (HTTPS is possible too) to your server with the relevant information about the open.
Note: this might generate a lot of traffic, so be sure that your server is capable of handling this.
Variables
With each POST call the variables in the table below are sent over. The POST data is sent with the application/x-www-form-urlencoded content type.
Associative arrays such as "parameters" and "fields" are sent per key-value pair, e.g. parameters[key]=value. Arrays such as "interests" are sent per item, e.g. interests[]=xyz.

| id | Unique identifier of the message that was opened |
| type | Type of action that triggered the Webhook ('open') |
