Webhook ingest pattern: treat inbound events as first-class work for agents
blaizedsouza · x · 2026-09-12
A developer shared a production pattern: an agent that only waits for chat misses the real world — ingest inbound webhooks as first-class work.
The cheatsheet: expose one ingest endpoint per source; validate the payload before any agent starts; put accepted events on a queue; return fast so the sender doesn't retry; start the agent from the queued event; trace the event id through the run.
Core principle: chat is one channel, events are another. Pro tip: never run the agent inside the HTTP handler.
