Webhooks Service

4min

Release Date: Feb 7th, 2024

We are excited to announce the launch of the Webhook Service, a service designed to facilitate reliable and real-time communication between applications. This release enables the developers to publish the events that their app will emit and subscribe to events published by other apps, streamlining the event publishing and subscription process without any dependency on Kafka-based updates. 

New Features

Event Publishing/Registration

  • Developers can use the CreateAppConfiguration endpoint to register as event publishers, specifying their event configurations and required subscriber permissions.
  • As event publishers, developers can use the RegisterEvents endpoints to easily register events they want to publish.

Event Subscriptions

Apps can subscribe to the published/registered events, with the ability to customize subscriptions to include core and custom attributes of events.

Enhanced Event Delivery Mechanisms

The Webhook service ensures reliable event delivery with built-in mechanisms for retries and backoffs, addressing delivery failures to guarantee that events reach their intended destinations.

Getting Started

To start using the Webhook Service, refer to our detailed developer guide, which includes step-by-step instructions on publishing events and event subscriptions using the Webhook service.
