This endpoint requires your private API key.
Once a webhook is created, events will be sent to it based on the criteria specified in the webhook. The data sent follows the Event schema and is sent as a JSON array in the POST request in the data field. Below is an example request body: 
{
  "data": [
    {
      "uuid": "b99b40c5-e306-4351-9f1d-9a13bb9e8bd1",
      "type": "track",
      "event": "ConnectedAccount",
      "userId": "123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000",
      "properties": {
        "totalAccounts": 4
      },
      "timestamp": "2024-10-21T21:32:17.000Z",
