Real-time event notifications keep your application responsive. nylas webhook triggers manages that plumbing.

The nylas webhook triggers command displays every event type you can subscribe a webhook to — message. created, event.

Syntax

nylas webhook triggers [--json]

When to use this command

Webhooks deliver real-time notifications when events happen (new email, calendar change). Use the CLI to create, test, and debug webhooks without a web dashboard.

Examples

List all trigger types:

nylas webhook triggers

Filter for email triggers:

nylas webhook triggers --json | jq '.[] | select(startswith("message."))'

When to Use This

Reach for nylas webhook triggers when building event-driven architectures or real-time notification pipelines. Combine with --json to pipe output into other tools.

How It Works

Webhooks replace polling. Instead of checking every 30 seconds whether new email arrived, the webhook pushes the event to your endpoint within seconds. This reduces API calls and improves latency for your application.
