Events

Events in Xurrent are identified by the combination of a noun and a verb (i.e. request.create). Note that webhooks are notified when these events occur from within the Xurrent application or from another application that uses the Xurrent API. The automation_rule webhook event type can be used to notify webhooks from within Automation Rules.
