Extended support for custom headers: Paubox Email API

Yesterday we covered how to integrate Paubox SMTP API, our HIPAA compliant transactional email solution,  with WordPress. 

Today, we're pleased to announce expanded support for custom headers for Paubox Email API. This post will explain what's covered in this release.

Custom headers for Paubox Email API

As a recap, in December, we announced support for custom headers in Paubox Email API.

In short, it's done via an optional data parameter string:

X-<Custom-Header-Name>

See below:

Custom headers for Messages endpoint

With today's release, custom headers are also present in the success response of the Messages endpoint of Paubox Email API. 

Here's a screenshot:

Webhook payloads now support custom headers

Paubox Email API supports four types of webhook events:

• Delivered
• Temporary Failure
• Permanent Failure
• Opened

Custom headers are now supported in the payload of each event when subscribed to a webhook.

Here's an example:

Secure Message Center custom header

If you have an onerous compliance requirement that (incorrectly) requires all secure email to be read via a secure link and web browser, you can insert this custom header to achieve that result:

X-Force-Secure-Msg
