Summary

In Convoy, subscriptions are essential for routing events from a source to a destination endpoint, and they offer flexibility through features like retry strategies, alert configurations, and circuit breaker triggers for handling errors. Subscription filters enhance this capability by allowing events to be conditionally delivered based on specific payload values using a subset of MongoDB's Extended JSON v2, enabling granular control over which events reach particular endpoints. This is particularly useful for managing webhooks, as it allows for intelligent routing of events by matching specific criteria such as amount or provider fields. By utilizing these filters, Convoy users can ensure that only relevant data is sent to endpoints or that events are distributed to different endpoints according to their content. These filters are available on Convoy Cloud and will be included in the upcoming v0.8 release, offering an intuitive way to manage event routing without embedding complex logic into applications, and users are encouraged to try out these features and provide feedback through the platform's community channels.
