}AhaSend sends this event when a contact is created, through the API or the dashboard.
data.contact is the contact as it was created. A contact that is created with unsubscribed: true sends only this event. A contact created through the API or the dashboard has no sending domain, so only webhooks for all your domains get this event.
No event: Contacts that a CSV import creates.
Setting: on_contact_created (Contact Created in the dashboard).
Requirements:
- Your account has the marketing features. Contact events cannot be turned on without them.
- A webhook with this event on needs an API key with
contacts:readwhen you create or update it through the API. See contact events.
