Webhook event reference
Webhook events notify your backend that something changed asynchronously in Starfire.
The exact event catalog is defined by the active Developer Platform contract. The Alpha architecture includes event families such as the following.
Run events
Build events
Research events
File and artifact events
Billing and usage events
Where enabled for developer applications:
Event envelope
A useful event contains concepts such as:
- event ID
- event type
- created time
- owning application/organization context
- resource ID
- payload version
- resource snapshot or relevant change metadata
Use the active OpenAPI/webhook reference for the exact payload.
Idempotency
The same logical event can be delivered more than once. Store the event ID and make your consumer safe to run repeatedly.
Ordering
Do not assume every event for every resource arrives globally in perfect order unless the contract explicitly guarantees it. Compare resource state when ordering matters.
Verification
Verify the documented webhook signature mechanism before trusting the payload.
A completed event indicates Starfire’s workflow reached its completed state. Your own downstream processing can still fail and should have independent observability/retry behavior.
