Webhooks & Events¶
This page connects the event-driven pieces of Centrali that are easy to confuse when read separately.
The Three Main Patterns¶
Trigger on Centrali Events¶
Use Triggers when you want Centrali to run a compute function because something happened inside the platform, such as a record being created or a schedule firing.
Receive Inbound Webhooks¶
Use Webhook Ingestion when an external service needs to call Centrali. This is the right path for providers like Stripe, GitHub, or custom systems that push events into your workspace.
Send Outbound Webhooks¶
Use Webhooks when Centrali needs to notify another system after activity happens in your workspace.
How to Decide¶
- If the event starts outside Centrali and needs to enter your workspace, start with Webhook Ingestion.
- If the event starts inside Centrali and should execute code, start with Triggers.
- If the event starts inside Centrali and should notify another system, start with Webhooks.
