What it does

Convoy is a cloud native webhooks gateway that automates workflows by managing and processing incoming webhooks, allowing founders and devs to build scalable and reliable event-driven systems.

Install / run

docker run -p 4567:4567 frain-dev/convoy

When to use it

•When you need to handle a high volume of webhooks from multiple sources
•When you want to automate workflows across different services and applications
•When you need to implement retries, deadlines, and other advanced webhook processing features

Quick start

1Create a new Convoy configuration file using the example config at https://github.com/frain-dev/convoy/blob/main/examples/config.yaml
2Define your webhooks and workflows in the config file using the Convoy DSL
3Start Convoy using the command `convoy start --config-file=config.yaml`
4Test your webhooks and workflows using the Convoy API or the Convoy dashboard
5Use the Convoy CLI to manage and debug your workflows, e.g. `convoy logs` to view logs

Ready-to-paste prompt

(convoy start --config-file=config.yaml) to start Convoy with a sample config that includes a webhook endpoint and a workflow that triggers a notification

Heads up: Ensure you have Docker installed and running on your system before attempting to run Convoy, as it relies on Docker for containerization
