Additional hook events added to workflows

Released: February 1st, 2025
Lede

We've added more hook events to workflows in order to provide more ability to integrate manifestly with other systems on the web.

Full Content
Use web hooks on workflows to update other systems based on events in Manifestly. We've added the following new hook events to workflows.
  • step_completed
  • step_late
  • step_skipped
  • tag_changed
The step events will fire for any step within the workflow. Previously, if you wanted a hook to fire on step complete, late or skipped, you would need to put that hook on the actual steps. Now you can put this on the workflow and then any step in the workflow will trigger it. To learn more about using web hooks for integrations, please visit our help center article.
