Use the Event Gateway to integrate third-party APIs and services asynchronously.

Overview -> Quickstart ->

Async API Gateway

Use the Event Gateway as an asynchronous API gateway to receive events from your users, IoT devices, or SDKs and libraries.

Overview -> Quickstart ->

AI Agents & LLMs

Trigger AI agents and LLM workflows from webhooks, and reliably receive webhooks from AI providers.

Overview -> Worked example ->

Configure

Connections →

Connections route events from a request source to an event destination.

Sources →

A source represents a service that sends HTTP requests to Hookdeck.

Destinations →

Destinations represents endpoints your events can be delivered to.

Delivery Groups →

Isolate event delivery by tenant, account, or any other property with independent queues, delivery rates, and observability.

Deduplication →

Remove redundant events based on matching strategies.

Transformations →

Transformations run your own JavaScript on every event before delivery, to reshape, verify, decode or generate its payload.

Filters →

Conditionally allow and route events based on their contents.

Retries →

Manually or automatically retry previous event deliveries.

Monitor

Issues & Notifications →

Track problems and communicate resolutions with your team.

Issue Triggers →

Determine which problems create issues under specific circumstances.

Metrics →

Gain insights into your requests, events, and attempts with our core, free metrics feature.

Inspect

Requests →

Requests are HTTP requests that Hookdeck receives from a source.

Events & Attempts →

Events are outgoing requests from Hookdeck.

Bookmarks →

Bookmarks allow you to catalog and replay specific requests.
