## Connecting SendWithUs

Connecting SendWithUs to Stitch is a three-step process:

1. [Add SendWithUs as a Stitch data source](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/stitch/integrations/saas/sendwithus#add-stitch-data-source)
2. [Generate a Webhook URL](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/stitch/integrations/saas/sendwithus#generate-webhook-url)
3. [Set up webhooks in SendWithUs](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/stitch/integrations/saas/sendwithus#setup-webhooks-in-app)

### Add SendWithUs as a Stitch data source

1. [Sign into your Stitch account](https://app.stitchdata.com/).

2. On the Stitch Dashboard page, click the **Add Integration** button.

3. Click the **SendWithUs** icon.

4. Enter a name for the integration. This is the name that will display on the Stitch Dashboard for the integration; it’ll also be used to create the schema in your destination.

   For example, the name “Stitch SendWithUs” would create a schema called `stitch_sendwithus` in the destination. **Note**: Schema names cannot be changed after you save the integration.

5. Click **Save Integration**.

### Generate a SendWithUs Webhook URL

Once Stitch has successfully saved and created the SendWithUs integration, you’ll be redirected to a page that displays your SendWithUs webhook URL and token (which is blurred in the image below):

![SendWithUs Webhooks URL](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/stitch/images/integrations/webhook-url.png)SendWithUs Webhooks URLSendWithUs Webhooks URL

Click the **Copy** button to copy it.

**Note that this particular URL won’t display in Stitch again once you click Continue**. Think of this URL like you would your login or API credentials - **keep it secret, keep it safe**. You can, however, [generate another URL](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/stitch/integrations/saas/sendwithus#webhook-urls-security) should you need it.

Once you’ve copied your webhook URL, click **Continue** to wrap things up in Stitch.

### Set up webhooks in SendWithUs

The last step is to setup webhooks in your SendWithUs account.

#### Existing Email Service Providers

1. Sign into your SendWithUs account.

2. Click **Delivery Settings** in the left nav tab.

3. In your list of Email Service Providers (ESP), find the one you want to add the webhook to.

4. Click the **Actions** menu for that ESP, then click **Settings**.

5. The Account Settings for the ESP will display. In the **Forward Webhooks To** field, paste your Stitch-generated webhook URL:

   ![Setting up webhooks in SendWithUs](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/stitch/images/integrations/sendwithus-webhook-setup.png)Setting up webhooks in SendWithUsSetting up webhooks in SendWithUs

6. Click **Save**.

#### New Email Service Providers

**If you’re brand new to SendWithUs and haven’t yet set up an ESP,** you can define the webhook during the initial setup for most ESPs by pasting your Stitch webhook URL in the **Forward Webhooks To** field. For example:

![Setting up webhooks for a new ESP in SendWithUs](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/stitch/images/integrations/sendwithus-new-esp-webhook-setup.gif)Setting up webhooks for a new ESP in SendWithUsSetting up webhooks for a new ESP in SendWithUs

## Replication

After you’ve successfully connected your SendWithUs integration, Stitch will continuously replicate your webhook data into your destination.

* [Webhooks and historical data](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/stitch/integrations/saas/sendwithus#webhooks-historical-data)
* [How data is loaded into your destination](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/stitch/integrations/saas/sendwithus#loading-behavior)
* [How to query for the latest data](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/stitch/integrations/saas/sendwithus#query-latest-data)

### Webhooks and historical data

Because SendWithUs data is sent to Stitch in real-time, this means that **only new records are replicated to your destination.** Most webhook-based integrations don’t retain historical data due to this as-it-happens approach.

In the event that our webhook service experiences downtime, you may notice some lag between an event occurring and the data appearing in your destination.

### Loading behavior

This version of Stitch’s SendWithUs integration loads data in an Append-Only fashion. When data is loaded using the Append-Only behavior, records are appended to the end of the table as new rows. Existing rows in the table aren’t updated even if the source has defined Primary Keys. Multiple versions of a row can exist in a table, creating a log of how a record has changed over time. Data stored this way can provide insights and historical details about how those rows have changed over time.

Refer to the [Understanding loading behavior guide](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/stitch/replication/loading/understanding-loading-behavior) for more info and examples.

### Query for the latest data

If you simply want the latest version of the object - or objects, if you elected to track more than one during the setup - in the integration’s table (`data`), you’ll have to adjust your querying strategy to account for the append-only method of replication. This is a little different than querying records that are updated using `updated_at` Incremental Replication.

To do this, you can use the `_sdc_sequence` column and the table’s Primary Key. The `_sdc_sequence` is a Unix epoch (down to the millisecond) attached to the record during replication and can help determine the order of all the versions of a row.

**Note:** If you didn’t define a Primary Key while setting up the integration, the Primary Key for the table will be `__sdc_primary_key`.

If you wanted to create a snapshot of the latest version of this table, you could run a query like this:

```
SELECT * FROM [stitch-redshift:stitch-sendwithus.data] o
INNER JOIN (
    SELECT
        MAX(_sdc_sequence) AS seq,
        [primary-key]
    FROM [stitch-redshift:stitch-sendwithus.data]
    GROUP BY [primary-key]) oo
ON o.[primary-key] = oo.[primary-key]
AND o._sdc_sequence = oo.seq
```

This approach uses a subquery to get a single list of every row’s Primary Key and maximum sequence number. It then joins the original table to both the Primary Key and maximum sequence, which makes all other column values available for querying.

## Schema

In v1 of the Stitch Incoming Webhooks integration, Stitch will create a single table - called `data` - in the webhook integration schema (this will be the name you enter in the **Integration Schema** field when you set up SendWithUs) of your data warehouse.

The schema of this table will contain two “types” of columns:

* Columns used by Stitch (prepended with `_sdc`), and
* Columns sent by the provider’s webhook API

**Aside from the Stitch columns, the schema of this table will depend entirely on SendWithUs’s webhook API**. With the exception of the `_sdc` fields, Stitch does not augment Incoming Webhooks data nor does it have any control over the fields sent by the webhook provider.

The data sent by SendGrid’s webhook API is based entirely off of the ESP that you’re using. For example: say you’re using Mandrill as your ESP. The schema of the table created by Stitch **for your Mandrill ESP** will look different than a table created for a SparkPost ESP.

## Webhook URLs & Security

Stitch allows you to generate up to 2 SendWithUs webhook URLs at a time. These URLs contain security access tokens and as such, have access to your SendWithUs account.

If you ever need to change your webhook URL, you can do so in the Integration Settings page after the integration has been created:

1. Click into the integration from the Stitch Dashboard page.
2. Click the **Settings** button.
3. In the **Webhook URLs** section, click the **Generate Webhook URL** button.
4. A new webhook URL will display. Press the **clipboard icon** to copy it.
5. **Follow the steps in the [Setting Up Webhooks in SendWithUs](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/stitch/integrations/saas/sendwithus#setup-webhooks-in-app) section to update the webhook URL in SendWithUs.**
6. After you’ve updated the webhook URL in SendWithUs, click the **Revoke** button next to the **oldest webhook URL** in Stitch. This will invalidate the token and revoke access.
