My Paypal IPN set up only sends notifications when I receive a payment. Is there something similar that can be triggered when payments are sent?
Trying to get a notification when I make payments to others so it can be automated into a bookkeeping software. Perhaps I'm missing something, any guidance would be appreciated!

Good day @viralyst,
Thank you for posting to the PayPal community.
PayPal offers support for Instant Payment Notification (IPN), which allows merchants to receive immediate notifications about transaction events. This feature is designed to provide you with real-time updates on the status of your transactions.
To learn more about the list of events that can trigger an IPN notification, please follow this link: https://developer.paypal.com/api/nvp-soap/ipn/#link-whyuseinstantpaymentnotification
If you still facing issues, please create an MTS ticket via - https://www.paypal-support.com/s/?language=en_US with the detailed information and error details.
Sincerely,
Vaishnavi
PayPal MTS
