Example Handler

app.post('/webhooks/sendpilot', async (req, res) => {
  const event = req.body;
  
  if (event.eventType === 'connection_request.accepted') {
    const { leadId, campaignId, linkedinUrl, acceptedAt } = event.data;
    
    // Update CRM
    await crm.updateLead(leadId, {
      status: 'connected',
      connectionAcceptedAt: acceptedAt
    });
    
    // Notify sales team
    await slack.postMessage({
      channel: '#new-connections',
      text: `🤝 New connection accepted!\n` +
            `Profile: ${linkedinUrl}\n` +
            `Campaign: ${campaignId}`
    });
    
    // The lead is now a 1st-degree connection - follow-up messages
    // will be sent automatically by the campaign sequence
    
    console.log(`Connection accepted by ${linkedinUrl}`);
  }
  
  res.status(200).send('OK');
});
When a connection is accepted, the lead becomes a 1st-degree connection. The campaign will automatically proceed to send follow-up messages according to the sequence.
