Before we get started, here’s a full guide on how to set up Braze Webhooks. If this is your first Braze Webhook campaign, we strongly recommend you read through the full guide before you continue!

Step 1: Create an API Key

This key will need to have permission for the endpoint email.hard_bounces.

Step 2: Create a Webhook and Insert Webhook URL

For this use case, the Webhook URL will be one of the following:

https://rest.iad-01.braze.com/email/bounce/remove

https://rest.iad-02.braze.com/email/bounce/remove

https://rest.iad-03.braze.com/email/bounce/remove

https://rest.iad-04.braze.com/email/bounce/remove

https://rest.iad-05.braze.com/email/bounce/remove

https://rest.iad-06.braze.com/email/bounce/remove

https://rest.iad-08.braze.com/email/bounce/remove

https://rest.fra-01.braze.eu/email/bounce/remove

https://rest.fra-02.braze.eu/email/bounce/remove

Step 3: Add KVP

Good news; this API endpoint is very simple and only requires one parameter which is email. Add the Key-Value Pair as shown below.

Step 4: Add Request Headers

Add the Request Headers, as you do for every single Braze API call.

Content-Type: application/json

Authorization: Bearer YOUR-API-KEY

See the guide mentioned in the beginning for more details. The API key that you created earlier will replace YOUR_API_KEY.

Step 5: Make API Call

Once again, we’re using one of my favorite features of Braze, which is the ability to make quick, one-off API calls.

Because you hard-coded the email address, this API call will always be doing the same thing: removing the specific email address from the hard bounce list.

You can try clicking “Get random user”, but your API call won’t change.

Click “Send Test”, and if you see this message below, you’re finished!

Conclusion

That’s it! These are the quick and easy steps to make an API call to remove a user from your hard bounce list. If you have any questions about any of the steps, please feel free to reach out, and we’re happy to help 🙏
