App life cycle events

Learn about app lifecycle events & webhooks.

Suggest Edits

Webhooks play an integral role in tracking your app's life cycle events, like installations, subscriptions, and usage. They provide real-time updates when:

  • Your app is installed or uninstalled
  • A subscription is created, changed, renewed, or canceled
  • A trial is created or canceled
  • A subscription renewal fails

The automated notifications help you save time and make it easier to track events inside your app. We recommend implementing them from the very beginning to start building a complete picture of your app's activities over time.

If you didn't implement them from the beginning - have no fear! You can start using webhooks at any time, but you won't receive any historic webhook information.

Webhooks containing subscription information are confidential and shared with you under our developer terms.

Available webhooks

Installations

We have two webhooks to track your app's installation activity:

  1. Install: The install webhook containing subscription data will be sent to the app once a user installs an app for the first time. This webhook will be sent for all subscription types, including free ones. It may also be sent for a paid subscription again if the user reinstalls an app that they previously paid for but then uninstalled. Please note that account_tier or account_max_users fields with null or 0 values indicate that the monday.com account is in a trial period.
  2. Uninstall: The uninstall webhook containing subscription data will be sent to the app as soon as a user uninstalls an app. This webhook will be sent for all subscription types, including free ones.

Subscriptions

We use various webhooks to track your app's subscription activity. Please note that webhooks containing subscription information are confidential and shared with you under our developer terms.

  1. Subscription created: The app_subscription_created webhook containing subscription data will be sent to the developer when a user purchases a plan.
  2. Subscription changed: The app_subscription_changed webhook containing subscription data will be sent to the developer once a user upgrades or downgrades an existing, paying subscription.
  3. Subscription renewed: The app_subscription_renewed webhook containing the renewed subscription information will be sent to the developer when a user's subscription renews on the renewal date.
  4. Subscription canceled by user: The app_subscription_cancelled_by_user webhook containing subscription data will be sent to the developer when a user cancels their subscription. Please note that the subscription will remain active until the paid period ends. Once the renewal date passes, their subscription will not renew and the developer will receive the app_subscription_cancelled webhook.
  5. Subscription canceled: The app_subscription_cancelled webhook containing subscription data will be sent to the developer when the subscription actually ends due to a cancellation.
  6. Undo subscription cancellation: The app_subscription_cancellation_revoked_by_user webhook containing subscription data will be sent to the developer when a user undoes their subscription cancellation before the renewal date. This event signifies that the subscription will automatically renew on the renewal date.
  7. App subscription renewal attempt failed: The app_subscription_renewal_attempt_failed webhook containing subscription data will be sent to the developer when the first subscription renewal attempt fails.
  8. App subscription renewal failed: The app_subscription_renewal_failed webhook containing subscription data will be sent to the developer when the final subscription renewal fails.
  9. Trial subscription started: The app_trial_subscription_started webhook containing subscription data will be sent to the developer when a user starts a new app trial.
  10. Trial subscription ended: The app_trial_subscription_ended webhook containing subscription data will be sent to the developer when a user ends an app trial.

Requests

When an event occurs, a request is sent to your webhook URL. Each request has a JWT in the Authorization header that can be used to verify the request's legitimacy (read more here).

The request body contains the following metadata about the event itself:
