Introduction to Advanced Integrated Visibility
Advanced Integrated Visibility webhooks is a software architecture method to automate push notifications that occur between sender and receiver applications whenever a new event happens.
Advanced Integrated Visibility webhooks is described as a user-defined HTTPS callbacks (typically POST request) triggered by change in status of a specific event. It sends near real-time automated notifications (messages/information/data) from sender (server-side) application to receiver (client-side) application based on the "Event Reaction" concept (i.e., don’t contact me, I will only contact you if I have something new for you).

Below pictorial representation describes how the event data is received in case of API request and with the Advanced Integrated Visibility webhook .

Use Case 1.1 |
Delivery |
Not Selected |

You will receive only one delivery timestamp for the SPOD/PPOD event, which will contain the delivery timestamp along with the SPOD/PPOD image byte array. If SPOD/PPOD is not selected, then you will not receive any delivery timestamp information. Note :
|

Ship/In-Transit/Exceptions |
Not Selected |
You will not receive any delivery timestamp information. Note: You will not receive Advanced Integrated Visibility notifications for any delivery of packages with and without SPOD/PPOD also. |
