# The event body

What a webhook endpoint receives: one POST per event, with a JSON body that names the event and carries the pact as it was at that moment.

The same body is kept as the delivery's `payload`, so what you see in [Get a delivery](/api-reference/webhooks/get-delivery) is byte for byte what was posted and signed. The headers that come with it are described in the [guide](/webhooks#the-request).

## Attributes

- `id` (string): The event's id, 16 letters and digits. The same event delivered to two endpoints has the same `id`.
- `type` (string): What happened. See [the events](/webhooks#events). One of: `pact.sent`, `pact.viewed`, `pact.signed`, `pact.declined`, `pact.voided`, `pact.sealed`, `pact.lapsed`, `ping`.
- `created` (string (date-time)): When it happened.
- `data` (object): What it is about.
  - `pact` (object): The [pact](/api-reference/objects/pact) as it was at that instant, without `fields` and `events`; [get the pact](/api-reference/pacts/get-pact) for those. Not on a `ping`.
    - `uid` (string): The pact's id: 8 letters and digits.
    - `title` (string): Shown to signers and in emails (150 characters at most).
    - `status` (string): See [Pact lifecycle](/concepts/pacts). One of: `draft`, `sent`, `sealed`, `declined`, `voided`, `lapsed`.
    - `message` (string | null): Your note in the invitation email.
    - `page_count` (integer): Pages in the document.
    - `created_by` (string): Where it was created: the dashboard, the API or the MCP server. One of: `web`, `api`, `mcp`.
    - `current_signer` (integer | null): The `order` of the signer whose turn it is while the pact is `sent`; otherwise `null`.
    - `date_created` (string (date-time)): When the draft was created.
    - `date_sent` (string (date-time) | null): When it was sent.
    - `date_lapses` (string (date-time) | null): When it lapses if it is not sealed first.
    - `date_sealed` (string (date-time) | null): When the last signer signed.
    - `date_updated` (string (date-time)): When anything about it last changed.
    - `documents_charged` (integer | null): Documents it used when it was sent. `null` on a draft.
    - `documents_cost` (integer | null): What sending this draft will use: one document per 3 signers, rounded up. Only set on a draft.
    - `sent_sha256` (string): SHA-256 (lowercase hex) of the PDF as sent. The sigil records it too.
    - `signed_sha256` (string | null): SHA-256 of the signed PDF, once sealed.
    - `recipients` (array of objects): Signers in order, then CCs.
      - `order` (integer): Position, starting at 1. Signers come first, numbered in the order you gave them; CCs follow.
      - `role` (string): Signers sign in order; a CC gets the finished copy. One of: `signer`, `cc`.
      - `name` (string): The recipient's name.
      - `email` (string): The recipient's address, lowercased.
      - `status` (string): Where this recipient is. One of: `pending`, `viewed`, `signed`, `declined`.

      - `date_signed` (string (date-time) | null): When they signed.
      - `typed_name` (string | null): The full name they typed when signing.
      - `decline_reason` (string | null): Their reason, if they declined.
      - `signing_url` (string): The private link for the signer whose turn it is. Anyone with it can sign as that person, so only give it to them. Only with `include_links=1`, and only on the waiting signer.
    - `links` (object): Where to get the files.
      - `document` (string (URL)): The document as sent ([download](/api-reference/pacts/download-document)).
      - `signed` (string (URL) | null): The signed PDF, once sealed ([download](/api-reference/pacts/download-signed)).
      - `sigil` (string (URL) | null): The sigil (certificate of completion), once sealed ([download](/api-reference/pacts/download-sigil)).
      - `dashboard` (string (URL)): The pact's page on the dashboard (needs a login).
  - `recipient` (object): The signer the event is about, as in the pact's `recipients`. Only on `pact.viewed`, `pact.signed` and `pact.declined`.
    - `order` (integer): Position, starting at 1. Signers come first, numbered in the order you gave them; CCs follow.

    - `email` (string): The recipient's address, lowercased.
    - `status` (string): Where this recipient is. One of: `pending`, `viewed`, `signed`, `declined`.
    - `date_viewed` (string (date-time) | null): When they first opened their signing link.

    - `decline_reason` (string | null): Their reason, if they declined.
  - `endpoint` (object): The endpoint pinged: its `uid` and `url`. Only on a `ping`.
