Webhooks: get told when a deploy finishes or fails
What an outgoing webhook is, why teams feed deploy events into their own chat and on-call systems, and how to see the state of a Voroa deploy right now.
What this covers
An outgoing webhook is the platform calling a URL of yours when something happens: a deploy started, a deploy failed, a service went down. It is how a hosting platform feeds events into whatever a team already uses, whether that is a chat channel, an on-call tool or their own dashboard. The two things that make a webhook trustworthy are a signature, so your endpoint can verify the call really came from the platform, and retries, so an event is not lost because your receiver was restarting at the time.
Outgoing webhooks are not available on Voroa today. The state of each deploy is shown in the dashboard.
