Overview

Unipile's Realtime feature allows your application to receive instant notifications about events occurring on connected accounts through webhooks. Instead of polling the API repeatedly, webhooks push event data directly to your application as they happen.

This enables you to build reactive applications that respond immediately to changes like new messages, email updates, post interactions, account status changes, and more.

How it works

1. Link an account: Connect provider accounts to Unipile (see Provider Accounts)
2. Configure a webhook: Register an endpoint URL in your application to receive events
3. Select events: Choose which event types you want to receive (messages, emails, account status, etc.)
4. Receive notifications: Unipile sends HTTPS POST requests to your endpoint when events occur
5. Handle events: Process the event data in your application to update your UI, trigger workflows, or sync data

❗️

Note about delays

For Google, Outlook, and IMAP, there may be delays of up to 10 seconds for email events and up to 60 seconds for calendar events.
