What Webhooks do

Shanone can receive inbound webhook events from external services and automatically hand them off as a task to an agent platform you’ve already connected — without you having to write and host a webhook receiver yourself.
This replaced an earlier “Automations” concept built around internal scheduled/recurring tasks. The current, real implementation is event-driven: Shanone reacts to an external webhook event and launches an external agent, rather than running its own scheduler.

Supported sources and targets

Sources

Typeform today — new form submissions can trigger a webhook subscription

Targets

Devin, Cursor Cloud Agents, and Manus — each has a default task prompt, and you can override it per subscription
Both lists are registry-based on Shanone’s backend, so more sources and targets can be added over time without changing how existing subscriptions work.

Setting up a webhook subscription

1

Create the subscription

Ask your agent to set it up for you — for example: “Create a webhook for my Typeform form so new submissions get reviewed by Devin.” This calls the Typeform integration’s webhook-creation tool, which registers the subscription and returns a unique webhook URL and signing secret.
2

Review it in the dashboard

Open Webhooks in the Shanone dashboard to see the subscription: source, form, target platform, and whether it’s active.
3

Choose a target platform and prompt

Set target_platform to devin, cursor, or manus. Each platform has a sensible default prompt, but you can supply your own target_prompt — for Cursor Cloud Agents, you’ll also need to set target_repository.
4

Toggle it on or off

Subscriptions can be deactivated without deleting them, and reactivated later, from the same dashboard screen.
Creating the webhook itself (the Typeform-side registration) happens through chat with your agent, via the Typeform integration tool. The Webhooks dashboard screen is for viewing and managing subscriptions that already exist — target platform, prompt, and active/inactive state.

What happens when an event fires

1

Shanone receives the raw payload

The source-specific adapter (currently Typeform) parses and summarizes it.
2

Shanone checks for a target platform

If none is configured for that subscription, Shanone just logs a summary of the event and stops there — nothing is launched automatically.
3

Shanone launches the target platform

If a target is configured, Shanone builds a prompt (your custom target_prompt, or the platform’s default) plus the event summary, and asks the target platform to start a session with it — e.g. creating a Devin session or a Cursor Cloud Agent run.
A webhook subscription with no target_platform set is inert by design — it will never automatically launch anything. This is intentional so that connecting a source can’t silently start spending agent credits until you explicitly wire up a target.

Why this isn’t a general task scheduler

Shanone itself doesn’t run an autonomous planning/execution engine. Webhooks reflect that: Shanone’s role is to receive the event and delegate the “actually go do something” part to an agent platform you’ve separately connected (Devin, Cursor Cloud Agents, Manus), not to execute the task itself.
