Webhooks

What It Is

Webhooks are inbound or externally callable entry points modeled through Jetstack's routing and link surfaces and often tied to automations or public integration behavior.

Why It Matters

They give the tenant a lightweight way to receive external events or expose controlled entry paths without building a separate custom application surface.

How Webhooks Fit The Platform

Webhooks typically connect:

permanent links or tenant routes
public endpoint identity
automation behavior
governance and access decisions

They are best understood as part of the integration model, not as isolated endpoints.

Typical Uses

external event callbacks
partner-system notifications
lightweight trigger endpoints for automated workflows

Best Practices

pair every webhook with a clearly owned automation or processing path
document what the webhook is expected to trigger
review webhook exposure whenever public surface governance is revisited
