These callbacks are triggered in response to changes in data associated with the Person API. To receive callbacks, please make sure your endpoint is compatible with our endpoint specifications .

🚧
Before you register...
Set up your endpoint before sending any callback configurations. Do not use a "fake" URL to test the configuration, as this will result in errors.
