I’d love to somehow have a way to support inbound webhook triggers so that we can run tasks by sending a POST request to a webhook, this would be helpful for a workflow I’m planning out:
When a Linear issue is created it would send that issue to Codex by a webhook to analyse the codebase and provide more potential detail around the issue and then update that Linear issue with more context.
Hey @joshuarileydev,
Totally get why you’d want this, webhook triggers would open up a lot of really useful automations like the Linear example you mentioned.
Right now that kind of inbound webhook flow isn’t something the system supports natively, so there’s no direct way to fire off tasks from a POST request yet. You’d have to route it through something custom in between.
I’ve seen a few folks wire this up using a small middleware service (like a serverless function) that receives the webhook, then calls the API to kick off the task. Not as clean as native support, but it works for now.
Either way, this is a solid request. I’m passing it along to the team so it’s logged properly. If anyone else here is trying something similar, would be great to hear how you’re approaching it too.
