Webhooks and API Integrations: Design for Reliable Delivery
A practical design for receiving events, tracking deliveries, handling duplicates, and turning webhook notifications into observable tool workflows.

API Foundations guides.
Explore api foundations through practical examples, clear workflow boundaries, and developer-focused decisions.
Start with the contract between an action and its caller. API foundations include accepted inputs, meaningful outputs, permissions, execution boundaries, and the conditions under which repeating a request is safe. These guides connect those concepts to tool runners, event delivery, and practical implementation choices.
Read the introductory tools API guide when the interface itself is still unclear. Move to repeatable execution when the action needs a controlled environment, or explore webhook delivery when another system initiates the work. The common thread is a clear promise: a caller should know what the tool attempts, how to interpret the result, and what to do when the result is uncertain. Use the related workflow pages to turn a broad principle into a focused checklist.
