## Event fields

| Field | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `data.id` | string | Recipient delivery ID. |
| `data.message_id` | string | Message ID shared by its recipient deliveries. |
| `data.recipient` | string | Recipient associated with this event. |
| `data.occurred_at` | string | ISO 8601 timestamp of the delivery or engagement fact. |

## Handle this event

Record engagement idempotently. This payload identifies the delivery; it does not include a clicked URL.

[Verify the signature](/docs/webhooks/verify-webhooks-requests) before reading the payload. Deduplicate by the envelope `id`, not the delivery ID: a delivery can have several different events.

[Retrieve the email](/docs/api/emails/retrieve) using `data.id` for its current state.
