Event Webhook PHP Code Example

Parse Webhook

This example shows how to parse inbound emails with PHP and the Twilio SendGrid Inbound Parse Webhook.

In this example, we want to parse all emails at address@email.sendgrid.biz and post the parsed email to https://sendgrid.com/email.php.

Given this scenario, the following are the parameters you would set at the Parse API settings page:

Hostname: email.sendgrid.biz

URL: https://sendgrid.com/email.php

To test this scenario, we sent an email to example@example.com and created the following form at https://sendgrid.com/email.php:

1<?php
2$to = $_POST["to"];
3$from = $_POST["from"];
4$body = $_POST["text"];
5$subject = $_POST["subject"];
6$num_attachments = $_POST["attachments"];
7
8if($num_attachments){
9  for($i = 1; $i <= $num_attachments; $i++) {
10    $attachment = $_FILES['attachment' . $i];
11      // $attachment will have all the parameters expected in a the PHP $_FILES object
12      // http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.post-method.php#example-369
13  }
14}
15?>

Event Webhook

To use the Event Webhook, you must first setup Event Notification.

In this scenario, we assume you've set the Event Notification URL to go the endpoint /parse.php on your server. Given this scenario the following code will allow you to process events:

1<?php
2$data = file_get_contents("php://input");
3$events = json_decode($data, true);
4
5foreach ($events as $event) {
6  // Here, you now have each event and can process them how you like
7  process_event($event);
8}
