Changelog

Information on the latest updates and additions to the Marigold Engage Delivery Cloud API and webhooks.

added

Add Webhook Dead Letters API, additional Webhook Subscriptions endpoints, soft deprecate old subscription endpoints

We updated or changed following endpoints:

  • Add Webhook Dead Letters API
  • Webhook Subscriptions have an ID now.
  • Add Webhook Subscriptions endpoints to support CRUD operations for each individual subscription by ID.
  • (Soft) Deprecate the older PUT/DELETE all Webhook Subscriptions
  • Retrying the sending of webhook events is a bit more strict now, using a smaller delay in between, 1 second exponential.

For more information about the dead letters concept, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_letter_queue.

Mail priority levels

A new field priority has been added to the send email endpoint.
This allows you to specify the priority of your mails, allowing you to give business critical transactional emails more priority over regular sends.

Emails with a higher priority will be pushed in front of lower priority mails in the queue for processing. The system applies a smart structure to not starve other mailings. For that reason, there are limits in place for each level of priority:

  • high: 1000 / min
  • medium: 5000 / min
  • low: No limit

if the cap is reached, new mailings will be pushed one step lower in priority
(high -> medium, medium -> low), without warning in the response of the API.
We will never block mails in a specific priority level if the rate is hit.

Update

New authentication permissions

It is now possible to request more granular permissions for specific API authentication pairs.

You can now request up to 3 authentication pairs to be used to access EDC.

These keys can now also have different permissions:

  • Account(s) it can act for
  • Sending
  • Access to archive
  • Management of webhooks

New webhook filtering capabilities

When creating filters for your webhooks, you can now use advanced filters for filtering specific webhooks to your endpoints.

Any property that is defined in the documentation of a webhook, can be used, for example:

  • data.account_id to filter on the account id
  • data.outcome_category to filter on the outcome category

Events / bounce documentation updates

EDC - Webhook events and bounce endpoints

On our bounce API endpoints, and on our failed webhook events there are 2 properties:

  • outcome_category
  • finalize_reason

The values for these fields are currently in Pascal case. However, our convention to keep everything uniform is:

  • Properties: Snake case
  • Values: Camel case

Concretely, this means that for both properties, the values will now be returned without a capital letter.
for outcome_category, the new values are:

  • none
  • error
  • ok
  • greyListed
  • blackListed
  • badUser
  • unavailable
  • senderProblem
  • mailboxFull
  • spam
  • receiverProblem
  • exclusion

for finalize_reason, the new values are:

  • tooManyRetries
  • tooManyDeferrals
  • importBlacklist
  • importFailed
  • expired
  • restriction
  • mxServersDenied
  • noMxServersAssigned
  • nonExistingDomainName
  • dnsServerError
  • dnsTimeout
  • hardBounce
  • badTemplate
  • cancelled
  • clientCancelled

EDC - Webhook update

new information fields

The com.sdc.deliveries.email.failed event now contains 2 new fields:

  • outcome_category which categorizes the SMTP response from the ISP in a more meaningful way
  • finalize_reason which categorizes the failure reason

We also split the documentation for the com.sdc.deliveries.email.failed and com.sdc.deliveries.email.sent events as their payloads are no longer the same.

Webhook management: custom headers

When Configuring your webhook, it it now possible to provide custom headers, when calling the subscription endpoint

The following is an example to configure your webhook with basic authentication:

[
  {
    "filters": [
      "com.smc.*"
    ],
    "target_url": "www.example.com/smc"
  },
  {
    "filters": [
      "com.sdc.*"
    ],
    "target_url": "www.example.com/sdc",
    "headers": [
      {
        "name": "Authorization",
        "value": "Basic TG9uZyBsaXZlIGRvZ2Uh"
      }
    ]
  }
]

The headers will be added to every call toward the target_url
