Triggers API

The Platform Triggers API lets an application subscribe to content events in Glean and receive them at its own endpoint as signed webhooks. A trigger is created from a preset — a curated event definition such as "a review is requested from me" or "30 minutes before an event starts" — so you describe what you care about rather than assembling a query.

Events are delivered as Standard Webhooks, signed with HMAC-SHA256, and are scoped to what the subscribing user is permitted to see.

These endpoints are experimental — send X-Glean-Include-Experimental: true on each request, or they are not exposed.
