Can I Integrate A New ESP Using Webhooks?

Unfortunately, this is not currently possible within Ordergroove. To understand the reasons why, we are happy to speak to the background processes that Ordergroove utilizes.

  • Not all of our emails are based on events — as per the table below — and are instead scheduled emails.
  • Our webhook notifications provide only high-level info and resource IDs for events, whereas our emails require extensive datasets joined from multiple resources.
  • The work to overcome the above makes building an ESP integration in this manner not viable as an option.

In building webhooks, the ability to integrate a new ESP was not in the intended design. Ordergroove's webhooks are intended to proactively inform external applications of events and/or data changes in our system.  Uses cases for such a product have been:

  • Expiring subscriptions
  • External order retry logic
