Notification settings

Notification settings entities describe subscriptions to events. They're also called notification destinations.

You can get notifications for events that happen in your Paddle system by creating notification destinations.

Notification destinations tell Paddle which events that you want to get notifications for and where to deliver those notifications.

Notification destination entities hold information like:

  • The kind of notification destination.
  • The webhook endpoint or email address for this destination.
  • The API version used for data payloads.
  • Which event types you want to get notifications for.

They also include a secret key that you can use to make sure that webhooks came from Paddle. Paddle generates this for you when you create a notification destination.

You can add as many destinations as you like, but only 10 may be active at once.
