So you've got a connect webhook and you are expecting so receive an account.update event, yes?
Do you have an ID for the webhook endpoint I could take a look at?
sand lava
right. if im reading the docs correctly, the account.update event should be fired when the account is first created

Alright, sticking with @sand lava here since it's their thread.
@sand lava could you provide the Connected account you are expecting to see an account.updated event from?
sand lava
yep just created one- acct_1KJMZcRRyYrIeo3a

Okay, there are no account.updated events on that account. Do you haven another account where an event has occurred that you expected a webhook response from?
sand lava
acct_1KEYErRG0DSgJmTx
maybe im misunderstanding- is account.update not supposed to fire when the connected account is added?
waxen ledge
No, the account.updated event does not fire when the account becomes connected to your platform.
sand lava
ah. but that one looks like it has no data about the account
what i actually need is the email address

In this case there isn't a webhook that will do exactly what you are looking for. Our docs do mention fetching the account via the API to get access to the email.

Additionally, if you use Account Links as your approach for onboarding accounts then the accounts.updated event and webhook will fire.
sand lava
got it. ok thanks a lot!

Account Links are the recommended onboarding method so if you use that it should help.
