Hex Webhooks & Events

Overview

Hex doesn't provide push webhooks. For event-driven integrations, poll run status or build your own notification system around run completions.

Instructions

Run Status Polling with Callback

async function runWithCallback(
  client: HexClient,
  projectId: string,
  params: Record<string, any>,
  onComplete: (result: any) => void,
  onError: (error: Error) => void
) {
  try {
    const { runId } = await client.runProject(projectId, params);
    const poll = async () => {
      const status = await client.getRunStatus(projectId, runId);
      if (status.status === 'COMPLETED') { onComplete(status); return; }
      if (status.status === 'ERRORED' || status.status === 'KILLED') { onError(new Error(status.status)); return; }
      setTimeout(poll, 5000);
    };
    poll();
  } catch (err) { onError(err as Error); }
}

Notify on Completion

runWithCallback(client, 'project-id', { date: '2025-01-01' },
  (result) => {
    // Send Slack notification, email, etc.
    fetch(process.env.SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL!, {
      method: 'POST',
      headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
      body: JSON.stringify({ text: `Hex project completed: ${result.runId}` }),
    });
  },
  (error) => console.error('Run failed:', error)
);

Prerequisites

• A secret-manager webhook secret, origin allowlist, replay-window policy, and opaque event ledger.
• A sandbox receiver plus a tested disable/cancel control for downstream project execution.

Output

Return an event receipt with type, opaque event/run ID, signature/timestamp result, idempotency outcome, queue state, canary result, and rollback reference. Exclude payload data, SQL, output, and signatures.

Error Handling

Reject unknown origin, stale/replayed delivery, malformed payload, unknown project destination, or non-idempotent retry. Quarantine the opaque event and disable the consumer if integrity is uncertain.

Examples

type=run.completed; event=evt-opaque-9; signature=pass; replay=absent; project=proj-sandbox-12; enqueue=once; rollback=consumer-disabled proves the event boundary.
