access_code.* events

Access-code batch generation, redemption, and expiry.

Access-code batch generation, redemption, and expiry. Emitted at the batch level for generation (never per-code, to prevent fan-out) and per-code for redemption and expiry.

Background

Example envelope

{
  "id": "evt_01HX...",
  "type": "access_code.redeemed",
  "created_at": "2026-05-18T10:05:00Z",
  "api_version": "2026-05-01",
  "project_id": "7f3d1c92-8b45-4e6a-9d21-5c8e0a4b6f13",
  "data": {
    "subscription_id": "5b7e2d40-1a86-4c39-97f2-e83d0b16c5a4",
    "project_id": "7f3d1c92-8b45-4e6a-9d21-5c8e0a4b6f13",
    "plan_id": "c4e82f16-93a7-4d5b-b81c-6e0f27a94d3b",
    "subscriber_id": "2a91c4e7-6f38-4b52-8e0d-9c1a7b3f5d80",
    "access_code": "9c1a7b3f-5d80-4e62-a4f1-0b83d2e6c517"
  }
}

The access_code string is the full redeemed code, not a masked fragment. It is already consumed and cannot be redeemed again, but treat it as a customer identifier and avoid forwarding it to systems you do not control.

Why batch, not per-code

A 10,000-code bulk generation would produce 10,000 webhook deliveries per subscribed endpoint otherwise. The generated event fires once per batch with the count, and the per-code events fire later as codes are actually used.

Required ability

Tokens subscribing to access_code.* events must carry project-access-code:view at mint time.

Events

access_code.generated

WEBHOOK

A bulk-generate job completes.

When this fires

A bulk-generation run for access codes completes. The batch is materialized in the database and is now redeemable. Batch-level only: this fires once per generation job, not per code. A 10,000-code batch produces one event.

Caveats

  • Codes themselves are never delivered through this event. The batch is delivered to the creator's chat on the connector as a CSV document or as one message per code, depending on the export type chosen at generation; to fetch them programmatically use the access codes list.
  • There is no batch identifier in the payload. Correlate a run by plan_id plus created_at, or list codes via the access codes endpoint.
  • Per-code redemption fires access_code.redeemed; per-code expiry fires access_code.expired.

Related events

  • access_code.redeemed: fires per code on redemption.
  • access_code.expired: fires per code on expiry.

Ability to subscribe

A token needs this to subscribe an endpoint to the event.

Header Parameters

SB-Signature*string

t=<unix seconds>,v1=<hex>: the HMAC-SHA256 of "<t>.<raw body>" under the endpoint's secret. Verify it before acting, and refuse a t more than 300 seconds from now. During a secret rotation a v0= signature under the previous secret may precede v1=.

SB-Event-Id*string

The event's ULID, bare. The envelope's id is the same ULID prefixed evt_, so strip the prefix before comparing. Deduplicate on it: a retry carries the same id.

SB-Event-Name*string

The event name, the same as the envelope's type.

Content-Type*string

Always application/json.

User-Agent*string

Always Subscriby-Webhooks/1.0.

Payload

JSONWhat Subscriby posts to your endpoint

The signed JSON envelope posted to your endpoint.

The envelope every event is delivered in.

Responses

2XXAny success status

Your endpoint acknowledged the delivery. Any 2xx status within 30 seconds marks it delivered; the response body is ignored.

defaultAny other status

Any other status, a connection failure, or no answer within 30 seconds counts as a failed attempt. The delivery is retried 8 times, after 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 2 minutes, 10 minutes, 1 hour, 6 hours, 1 day, 3 days; the last failure dead-letters it, and it can be retried from the dashboard or POST /v1/webhook-deliveries/{delivery}/retry. After 20 consecutive failures the endpoint is paused until it is resumed.

access_code.redeemed

WEBHOOK

A code is successfully redeemed by a subscriber.

When this fires

A subscriber successfully redeems an access code. The placeholder subscription row created with that code at generation time is claimed for the subscriber and activated (or put into trial) on the associated plan.

Caveats

  • access_code is the complete code, not a masked fragment. It is already consumed and cannot be redeemed again, but treat it as a customer identifier and avoid forwarding it to systems you do not control.
  • Pairs with subscription.created and either member.joined or member.trial_joined, depending on whether the redeemed plan carries a trial.

Related events

  • access_code.generated: predecessor (batch-level).
  • access_code.expired: alternative outcome.

Ability to subscribe

A token needs this to subscribe an endpoint to the event.

Header Parameters

SB-Signature*string

t=<unix seconds>,v1=<hex>: the HMAC-SHA256 of "<t>.<raw body>" under the endpoint's secret. Verify it before acting, and refuse a t more than 300 seconds from now. During a secret rotation a v0= signature under the previous secret may precede v1=.

SB-Event-Id*string

The event's ULID, bare. The envelope's id is the same ULID prefixed evt_, so strip the prefix before comparing. Deduplicate on it: a retry carries the same id.

SB-Event-Name*string

The event name, the same as the envelope's type.

Content-Type*string

Always application/json.

User-Agent*string

Always Subscriby-Webhooks/1.0.

Payload

The envelope every event is delivered in.

Responses

2XXAny success status

Your endpoint acknowledged the delivery. Any 2xx status within 30 seconds marks it delivered; the response body is ignored.

defaultAny other status

Any other status, a connection failure, or no answer within 30 seconds counts as a failed attempt. The delivery is retried 8 times, after 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 2 minutes, 10 minutes, 1 hour, 6 hours, 1 day, 3 days; the last failure dead-letters it, and it can be retried from the dashboard or POST /v1/webhook-deliveries/{delivery}/retry. After 20 consecutive failures the endpoint is paused until it is resumed.

access_code.expired

WEBHOOK

A code passes its expiry without redemption.

When this fires

An access code passes its expiry without being redeemed. The placeholder subscription row holding it is hard-deleted immediately after this event is emitted.

The code string itself is not included on this event; only access_code.redeemed carries access_code. The placeholder row referenced by subscription_id is hard-deleted immediately after this event is emitted, so it will not resolve through the API.

Caveats

  • Expiry is detected by a sweep that runs every five minutes, so created_at trails expired_at by up to five minutes plus queue latency.
  • Large batches may produce a sustained burst of access_code.expired events when the batch hits its expiry. Plan capacity accordingly.
  • Codes that were already redeemed do not produce this event regardless of the batch's expires_at.

Related events

  • access_code.redeemed: alternative outcome.
  • access_code.generated: predecessor (batch-level).

Ability to subscribe

A token needs this to subscribe an endpoint to the event.
