Webhooks

Webhook tasks let external systems start teammate work by sending HTTP requests to Type.

Create a webhook task

1. Open the teammate’s tasks settings.
2. Choose a webhook trigger.
3. Copy the generated webhook URL.
4. Add an optional secret if the sending service supports one.
5. Send a first event so Type can learn the event shape.

Write useful instructions

Good webhook instructions tell the teammate:

• 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 task instructions.
