Webhooks

Webhook automations let external systems start work in a Space by sending HTTP requests to Type.

Create a webhook automation

1. Open Space settings → Automations.
2. Choose a webhook trigger.
3. Copy the generated webhook URL.
4. If the sending service supports webhook authentication, require signed requests and add the shared secret in Type. Otherwise, treat the generated webhook URL as a credential: keep it private, and delete the webhook in Type to revoke the URL if it is exposed.
5. Send a first event so Type can learn the event shape.

Write useful instructions

Good webhook instructions tell AI:

• Which service sends the event.
• Which event types matter.
• What fields should be summarized for humans.
• When to act, when to ask, and when to only notify.

Event shape learning

After the first event, Type can render future webhook events more clearly. If the sender changes payload shape, send a representative event and update the automation instructions.
