Automation and Integrations
Systems that react the moment something happens
Instead of checking for changes every night, your systems can react the instant something happens. We build webhooks and event systems that do this reliably.
The problem
The problem this solves
Many integrations still work in batches. A script runs every hour or every night, looks for changes and copies them across. Customers wait for confirmations. Stock levels lag behind sales. Staff see yesterday's data. And when the nightly job fails, nobody knows until the next morning.
Webhooks reverse the direction. When something happens in one system, such as a payment succeeding, a form being submitted or an order shipping, it sends a message to your system right away. Your system reacts: updates records, sends emails, starts a workflow.
Real-time is powerful, but it has its own traps. Messages can arrive twice, out of order or not at all. The receiving system may be down. A sudden burst of events can overwhelm a small server. An attacker can send fake events if signatures are not checked. We design for all of these: signature checks, idempotent processing so duplicates do no harm, queues that absorb bursts, retries and a record of every event.
For larger systems, we build internal event flows too, where parts of your own Backend publish events and others subscribe. That keeps components independent and makes new features easier to add without touching existing code.
We also give you visibility. A simple event log shows what arrived, what was processed and what failed, and failed events can be replayed once the cause is fixed. That turns an invisible chain of automation into something your team can inspect and trust.
Typical uses include payment and subscription events, form submissions to CRMs, order and shipping updates, and triggers for AI workflows. Most businesses start with one high-value event, usually payments, and add others once the pattern is in place and the team trusts it. Each new event then takes far less effort.
What you get
What you get
-
Webhook endpoints
Secure endpoints that receive events from payment, CRM, form and other providers.
-
Signature verification
Every incoming event checked so fake requests are rejected.
-
Idempotent processing
Duplicate events handled safely, so nothing happens twice.
-
Queues
Events queued and processed in order, absorbing bursts without failures.
-
Retries and replay
Failed events retried automatically and replayable after a fix.
-
Outgoing webhooks
Your own events sent to partners and customers, signed and retried.
-
Event log
A searchable record of every event and what happened to it.
-
Monitoring
Alerts on failures, delays and unusual volumes.
How we build it
How we build it
-
1
List the events
We identify which events matter and what should happen for each.
-
2
Design the flow
Ordering, duplicates, failure handling and security agreed.
-
3
Build
Endpoints, queues and handlers built with tests for bad events.
-
4
Test under load
Bursts, duplicates and outages simulated before launch.
-
5
Launch and monitor
Switched on with logs, alerts and replay tools.
AI and people
Where AI helps, where people decide
AI makes the repetitive parts faster. The decisions that shape your product stay with experienced people.
Where AI speeds things up
-
Generating handlers and tests for each event type.
-
Simulating duplicate, late and malformed events.
-
Writing load tests for bursts of events.
-
Summarizing event logs to find failure patterns.
-
Documenting the event catalog.
Where people decide
-
Which events trigger which actions.
-
What happens when events arrive out of order.
-
Security and access rules for endpoints.
-
Who is alerted and how quickly.
-
When real-time is worth the extra complexity.
Is this right for you?
When this is the right choice
A good fit when
-
Customers or staff wait for batch jobs to see updates.
-
Nightly sync jobs fail without anyone noticing.
-
You need to react instantly to payments, signups or orders.
Consider something else when
-
Data changes rarely and an hourly or daily sync is fine.
-
The other system does not offer webhooks or events.
Timeline and cost
What affects the timeline and cost
Handling webhooks from one provider, such as a payment gateway, usually takes days. An internal event system with queues and several consumers takes a few weeks.
We do not publish fixed prices because scope drives cost. How we estimate.
-
Number of event types
Each event needs a handler and tests.
-
Volume and bursts
High or spiky volume needs queues and scaling.
-
Ordering needs
Strict ordering adds design complexity.
-
Outgoing webhooks
Sending events to others adds signing, retries and a portal.
-
Infrastructure
Queues and workers add hosting components.
-
Security
Sensitive events need stricter verification and logging.

FAQ
Questions about webhooks and event systems
Have a question that is not here? Ask us directly.
A message one system sends to another when something happens, such as "payment succeeded", so the receiving system can react immediately. See the webhook glossary entry.
Most providers retry for a while. We also queue events on arrival and keep a log, so they can be processed or replayed once the system is back.
Yes. An incoming email, form or ticket can start an AI workflow that sorts, extracts or drafts. See AI workflows.
Yes. We build outgoing webhooks with signing, retries and a delivery log. See API development.
