Route all incoming requests through one central automation endpoint

One web address receives every request and automatically sends it to the right internal process based on what's being asked for.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Exactly one path is taken.

The problem it solves

Every time you need a new integration, you end up creating another one-off endpoint to maintain, and it's hard to keep error handling and responses consistent across all of them. Tracking down which endpoint does what becomes a mess as your systems grow.

Who it fits

An operations or IT lead managing multiple internal integrations who wants one consistent front door for all of them.

How it works

  1. A request arrives at a single shared web address
  2. The system reads what action is being requested and which method it's using
  3. It looks up that action in your list of approved routes
  4. If the action is valid, the matching process runs automatically
  5. If not, a clear error message is sent back instead
What you get

Requests routed to the right process automatically

Give every internal integration one reliable front door that routes each request to the right place.

What you get

A single reliable entry point that routes requests to the correct internal process and returns consistent responses.

What you need

The business's own automation system, with each internal process it should route to already set up.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

Get a full report of every webhook connection your automations use

One request returns a full list of every active connection point in your automation system, with details.

Standard

Process incoming requests one at a time instead of all at once

Makes sure your automation finishes one request before starting the next, even if several arrive at once.

Advanced

Process a batch of items in parallel and wait for all to finish

Runs many jobs at the same time instead of one by one, then combines the results once everything is finished.

Advanced

Build a custom API with automatic request routing built in

Gives you a ready-made backend that automatically routes incoming requests to the right response.
