Summary

Hookdeck has introduced a feature called Source Types, which aims to simplify the process of configuring webhook event sources by automatically tailoring configuration options based on the event producer being integrated with. This feature reduces friction and helps developers get their apps securely ingesting webhooks faster. With Source Types, Hookdeck eliminates unnecessary configuration steps, highlights critical settings, and lays the groundwork for expanding direct support for more event producers and protocols. The introduction of Source Types has resulted in product changes, including a new dropdown menu for selecting source types in the dashboard, breaking changes to the API and Terraform provider, and an updated sources documentation that showcases how to configure sources faster and more efficiently. As Hookdeck continues to refine its features, they invite users to provide feedback and suggestions on specific webhook providers or protocols they'd like to see supported.
