Hi Jeff,
I’m a software engineer at Parse, and we just launched a webhooks product last week at F8 (http://blog.parse.com/2015/03/25/introducing-cloud-code-webhooks/). The idea is that instead of Parse running server-side hooks in javascript on our servers, we hit a url the developer provides to allow the developer to run custom code in any language on their own servers. Then we expect a response, with any updated data that we then incorporate into our normal save process.
While this indeed seems like a traditional webhook, it is a little different in that it is not just a notification that something happened, but actually a two-way communication channel, where we actually expect something more than just a 200 response. I’m curious, have you seen something like this before? We spent a lot of time looking at previous webhook implementations, and every one that we found was used just as a channel to notify the developer of an event occurring, and never as a two way communication channel. Do you have any thoughts on a reason this hasn’t been done before?
Thanks for your time, and I really look forward to hearing your thoughts on this!Jamie Karraker

Nick,
Your best bet is to reach out to Mandrill/MailChimp for support on this one.
Cheers!
