Webhooks

Webhook-drivencode review

React to pushes and pull request events in real time. Incoming webhooks enqueue review jobs when your repository changes, without polling GitHub or waiting for a scheduled CI cron.

How it works

Low latency feedback

Reviews start when the event fires, not when someone manually clicks New review.

Same engine everywhere

Webhook-triggered jobs use identical analysis to paste, API, and Action entry points.

Operational visibility

Failed deliveries show up in GitHub webhook logs; retry after fixing permissions or quota issues.

Workflow

How teams wire it

  1. 1

    Connect repository

    Authorize GitHub and enable webhooks for selected repos in workspace settings.

  2. 2

    Pick events

    Choose push, pull_request, or both depending on when you want reviews to start.

  3. 3

    Verify delivery

    Use recent deliveries in GitHub settings to confirm 2xx responses from CodeCritic.

  4. 4

    Pair with comments

    Enable PR comment sync so authors see results without opening the dashboard.

FAQ
