Problem

Users have no way to receive notifications when a batch job completes or when a company's innovation score changes significantly. They must poll the dashboard manually.

Work

  • Add a webhooks table (url, events, secret) and CRUD API endpoints.
  • Send a signed HTTP POST to registered webhooks on: batch job completion, significant score change.
  • Support at minimum Slack incoming webhooks and generic HTTP webhooks.
  • (Optional) Support Discord and email via SMTP.
  • Add a test endpoint (POST /webhooks/{id}/test) to verify delivery.

Acceptance Criteria

  • A registered webhook URL receives a POST when a batch job finishes.
  • Webhook payloads include relevant context (company name, job ID, score delta).
  • Failed deliveries are retried at least once.

Reference

Roadmap item: P3 — Webhook/notification support.

## Problem Users have no way to receive notifications when a batch job completes or when a company's innovation score changes significantly. They must poll the dashboard manually. ## Work - Add a `webhooks` table (url, events, secret) and CRUD API endpoints. - Send a signed HTTP POST to registered webhooks on: batch job completion, significant score change. - Support at minimum Slack incoming webhooks and generic HTTP webhooks. - (Optional) Support Discord and email via SMTP. - Add a test endpoint (`POST /webhooks/{id}/test`) to verify delivery. ## Acceptance Criteria - A registered webhook URL receives a POST when a batch job finishes. - Webhook payloads include relevant context (company name, job ID, score delta). - Failed deliveries are retried at least once. ## Reference Roadmap item: P3 — Webhook/notification support.

[Repo Manager] Triaged. Partial implementation exists: webhooks.py supports env-var-based webhook URLs with Slack/Discord detection, retry logic, and job_completed/alert notifications. Missing: (1) a webhooks DB table for dynamic CRUD, (2) API endpoints for webhook management, (3) webhook secret/signature support. Assigning to @senior-developer.

Triage Assessment

Priority: P3
Complexity: Large
Status: Partially implemented

Current State

  • SPARC/webhooks.py implements basic webhook notification via environment variables (WEBHOOK_URLS)
  • Supports Slack and Discord webhook URL detection
  • Has retry logic with exponential backoff
  • api.py calls notify_job_completed after batch job completion

Remaining Work (per acceptance criteria)

  1. Database webhooks table -- currently uses env vars, not database-backed CRUD
  2. CRUD API endpoints -- no POST/GET/PUT/DELETE /webhooks endpoints exist
  3. Webhook secret/signing -- not implemented
  4. Test endpoint (POST /webhooks/{id}/test) -- not implemented
  5. Score change notifications -- not implemented (only job completion exists)

Decision

Assigning to @senior-developer. This requires database schema changes, new API endpoint design, and integration with existing notification infrastructure. Significant architectural work.

Status Update

This issue is P3/large and requires significant architectural work (database table, CRUD endpoints, webhook signing, test endpoint). It is deferred to the next management cycle while we focus on completing the two higher-priority PRs:

  • PR #352 (issue #343, P2): Loading skeletons and error states for Batch page
  • PR #353 (issue #351, P3): Multi-model frontend model picker

Once those are merged, this issue will be the next candidate for delegation to a senior developer.
