CircleCI Webhooks

CircleCI Webhooks allow developers to receive real-time notifications about events in their CI/CD pipelines by configuring HTTP callbacks. Webhooks can be set up through project settings to notify external services when workflows and jobs complete, fail, or change status. This enables integration with monitoring systems, chat platforms, and custom automation workflows. Webhooks deliver JSON payloads containing event details to configured endpoint URLs.

CircleCI Webhooks is one of 18 APIs that CircleCI publishes on the APIs.io network, described by an AsyncAPI event-driven specification.

Tagged areas include CI/CD, Event, Notification, and Webhook. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation and an AsyncAPI specification.

This event API exposes 1 operation across 1 channel, and defines 10 schemas. It is described by AsyncAPI 2.6.0, at version 1.0.

The API connects through a single server, {webhookUrl} (https).

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of CircleCI Webhooks, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
