Events Overview

Envelope events, or webhooks, are messages about an event that are sent via POST request from DocMadeEasy's servers to a user-defined callback url.
Real-time events are sent to your app when triggered (like a document being signed).
You can think of webhooks as push notifications for servers.

Events are sent as application/json POST requests.
