Once an insurance account is connected through an Ignition session, Axle can monitor that account for updates. These updates will trigger events that are sent from Axle to your systems via webhook or to your organization via communication channels such as email.
Account events are only sent for insurance accounts connected through Axle Ignition sessions that are configured with monitoring enabled. Please contact the Axle team if you would like to enable this feature!

​
Webhooks

You must specify a webhookUri when generating an Ignition token to receive webhook events. See Start Ignition for more details.Custom webhook headers can be configured to support uses cases like authentication. Please contact the Axle team if you would like to configure custom webhook headers!
A POST request will be sent to the webhookUri with the following payload. All events will include client, ref (Account object identifier), user (optionally specified when generating Ignition token), and metadata (optionally specified when generating Ignition token).
Example webhook payload
{
  "id": "<event_id>",
  "type": "account.modified",
  "data": {
    "client": "<client-id>",
    "ref": "acc_Z4ni-JHBvkn9PlKJHPEwk",
    "user": {},
    "metadata": {},
    ...{ parameters }
  },
  "createdAt": "2022-10-05T14:48:00.000Z"
}
