Summary

Nylas has introduced enhancements to its webhooks functionality, enabling users to manage email, calendar, and contacts data more efficiently by programmatically creating, updating, and deleting webhooks through its API. This update includes support for PUT, POST, and DELETE requests, allowing users to perform actions such as activating or deactivating webhooks without needing to use the Nylas dashboard manually. This feature is particularly beneficial during server downtimes, as it allows for the automatic detection and re-enabling of webhooks, ensuring minimal disruption for customers. Examples are provided to demonstrate how to create a webhook triggered by a message being opened and how to update an existing webhook’s status, with further information available in Nylas's online documentation.
