description

Comprehensive hooks and webhook creation toolkit for building event-driven integrations and automation systems. Use when users want to create any type of hook, webhook, or event handler including: (1) REST webhooks for external services, (2) Event listeners and triggers, (3) Real-time subscriptions and WebSockets, (4) Callback systems and async handlers, (5) Automation workflows with triggers, (6) API integrations with event processing, (7) Custom middleware and interceptors. Supports Express, FastAPI, Flask, WebSocket protocols, serverless functions, and various automation platforms. Handles authentication, payload validation, retry logic, and error handling.

Hooks Builder

Advanced toolkit for creating webhooks, event handlers, and automation triggers.

Quick Start

Hook Type Detection

# Analyze requirements and suggest optimal hook architecture
scripts/hook_analyzer.py --use-case "your integration description"

Instant Hook Creation

# Generate complete hook with single command
scripts/create_hook.py \
  --type [webhook|listener|subscription|callback|trigger] \
  --name "HookName" \
  --endpoint "/api/hook" \
  --framework [express|fastapi|flask|serverless|custom]

Core Hook Patterns

REST Webhook

Standard HTTP webhook for receiving events:

scripts/templates/rest_webhook.py

Event Listener

Real-time event processing:

scripts/templates/event_listener.py

WebSocket Subscription

Bidirectional real-time communication:

scripts/templates/websocket_handler.py

Callback Handler

Async callback processing:

scripts/templates/callback_handler.py

Automation Trigger

Workflow automation trigger:

scripts/templates/automation_trigger.py

Framework Implementations

Express.js Webhooks

See references/express_patterns.md for:

• Middleware setup
• Request validation
• Body parsing strategies
• Error handling patterns

FastAPI Webhooks

See references/fastapi_patterns.md for:

• Async webhook handlers
• Pydantic models for validation
• Background tasks
• Dependency injection

Flask Webhooks

See references/flask_patterns.md for:

• Blueprint organization
• Request processing
• Response formatting
• Extension integration

Serverless Functions

See references/serverless_patterns.md for:

• AWS Lambda handlers
• Vercel functions
• Cloudflare Workers
• Azure Functions

WebSocket Implementations

See references/websocket_patterns.md for:

• Socket.IO setup
• Native WebSocket
• SignalR patterns
• Real-time protocols

Security & Authentication

Signature Verification

# Add signature verification to any webhook
scripts/add_signature_verification.py \
  --method [hmac-sha256|jwt|oauth|custom] \
  --secret-key "your-secret"

Rate Limiting

# Implement rate limiting for webhook endpoints
scripts/add_rate_limiting.py \
  --strategy [fixed-window|sliding-window|token-bucket] \
  --limit 100 \
  --window 60

Payload Validation

# Generate validation schemas for incoming data
scripts/create_validator.py \
  --schema "path/to/schema.json" \
  --strict-mode

Advanced Features

Retry Logic & Resilience

# Add retry mechanisms with exponential backoff
scripts/add_retry_logic.py \
  --max-retries 3 \
  --backoff-strategy "exponential" \
  --timeout 30

Event Processing Pipeline

# Create event processing pipeline
scripts/create_pipeline.py \
  --stages ["validate", "transform", "enrich", "route"] \
  --parallel-processing

Webhook Multiplexer

# Route single webhook to multiple handlers
scripts/create_multiplexer.py \
  --routes "routing_config.yaml" \
  --fallback "default_handler"

Event Store Integration

# Add event sourcing capabilities
scripts/integrate_event_store.py \
  --store [kafka|rabbitmq|redis|postgres] \
  --retention-days 30

Testing & Debugging

Webhook Testing Suite

# Test webhooks with various payloads
scripts/test_webhook.py \
  --endpoint "http://localhost:3000/webhook" \
  --payloads "test_payloads.json" \
  --concurrent-requests 10

Event Simulator

# Simulate events for testing
scripts/simulate_events.py \
  --event-type "payment.completed" \
  --frequency 10 \
  --duration 60

Debug Proxy

# Create debugging proxy for webhook inspection
scripts/debug_proxy.py \
  --listen-port 8080 \
  --forward-to "http://localhost:3000" \
  --log-level "verbose"

Deployment Patterns

Containerization

# Dockerize webhook service
scripts/dockerize_hooks.py --service-dir ./my_hooks

Serverless Deploy

# Deploy to serverless platforms
scripts/deploy_serverless.py \
  --provider [aws|vercel|netlify|azure] \
  --function "webhook_handler.py"

Monitoring & Observability

# Add comprehensive monitoring
scripts/add_monitoring.py \
  --metrics ["latency", "throughput", "errors"] \
  --provider [datadog|prometheus|newrelic]

Integration Examples

Platform-Specific Hooks

Use assets/platform_hooks/ for ready-to-deploy integrations:

• github_webhook/ - GitHub events processing
• stripe_webhook/ - Payment events handling
• slack_events/ - Slack app event subscriptions
• discord_bot/ - Discord bot interactions
• twilio_webhook/ - SMS/Voice callbacks
• shopify_webhook/ - E-commerce events
• webhook_site/ - Generic webhook receiver

Automation Workflows

Zapier-Style Automation

# Create automation workflow with triggers and actions
scripts/create_automation.py \
  --trigger "webhook" \
  --actions ["filter", "transform", "send_email"] \
  --schedule "*/5 * * * *"

IFTTT Pattern

# If-This-Then-That style automation
scripts/create_ifttt.py \
  --if "new_payment" \
  --then ["update_database", "send_notification"]
