Incoming events

When your application has something to say, Erganos is listening.

Some processes should not wait for the next scheduled check. A webhook is simply an address your software can notify the instant something happens.

Why teams automate this

Immediate, not eventually

The process starts the second the event arrives, which is the difference between a customer being told now and being told tonight.

Nothing is lost

Events are recorded on arrival and retried if the process fails, so a temporary outage does not become missing orders.

Only genuine events

Every incoming call is verified before anything runs, so an endpoint cannot be used by someone who is not your application.

What you can automate

What an incoming event can set off.

  • Start a process when your software records a new order
  • React to a payment confirmed by your provider
  • Pick up a form submission from your site
  • Respond to a status change in an internal tool
  • Take in events from a supplier or partner system
  • Connect a tool that has no ready-made integration

Questions people ask

Do I need a developer for this?

Usually only to paste an address into your application's settings. We prepare the endpoint and tell you exactly where it goes.

How do you know the event is genuine?

Incoming calls are signed and verified, and repeated deliveries of the same event are recognised so a process never runs twice for one order.

What if my application sends a lot of events?

Events are queued and processed steadily rather than all at once, which keeps a burst from overwhelming the systems downstream.
