Delete an Event Webhook

API Overview

The SendGrid Event Webhook sends email event data as SendGrid processes it. This means you can receive data in nearly real-time, making it ideal to integrate with logging or monitoring systems.

Because the Event Webhook delivers data to your systems, it is also well-suited to backing up and storing event data within your infrastructure to meet your own data access and retention needs.

Event types

You can think about the types of events provided by the Event Webhook in two categories: deliverability events and engagement events.

Deliverability events such as "delivered," "bounced," and "processed" help you understand if your email is being delivered to your customers.
Engagement events such as "open," and "click" help you understand if customers are reading and interacting with your emails after they arrive.

Both types of events are important and should be monitored to understand the overall health of your email program. The Webhooks API allows you to configure your Event Webhook configurations.

Data storage

Currently, data staged to be be posted through the webhooks is stored in the US.

Operation overview

DELETE/v3/user/webhooks/event/settings/{id}

Base url: https://api.sendgrid.com (for global users and subusers)

Base url: https://api.eu.sendgrid.com (for EU regional subusers)

This endpoint allows you to delete a single Event Webhook by ID.

Unlike the Get an Event Webhook and Update an Event Webhook endpoints, which will operate on your oldest webhook by created_date when you don't provide an ID, this endpoint will return an error if you do not pass it an ID. This behavior prevents customers from unintentionally deleting a webhook. You can retrieve your webhooks' IDs using the Get All Event Webhooks endpoint.

Enable or disable the webhook

This endpoint will permanently delete the webhook specified. If you instead want to disable a webhook, you can set the enabled property to false with the Update an Event Webhook endpoint.

The on-behalf-of header allows you to make API calls from a parent account on behalf of the parent's Subusers or customer accounts. You will use the parent account's API key when using this header. When making a call on behalf of a customer account, the property value should be "account-id" followed by the customer account's ID (e.g., on-behalf-of: account-id <account-id>). When making a call on behalf of a Subuser, the property value should be the Subuser's username (e.g., on-behalf-of: <subuser-username>). See On Behalf Of for more information.
