Webhooks
Webhooks are HTTP callbacks that allow your applications to receive real-time notifications when specific events occur. In the context of SQLite Cloud, webhooks make it easy to build reactive systems by automatically sending notifications when data changes happen within your databases.
Real-Time Notifications for Database Writes
Use the Webhooks panel to effortlessly create real-time notifications for write operations—such as inserts, updates, or deletes—within your SQLite Cloud database.
For example, you can configure SQLite Cloud to notify a webhook.site endpoint every time a write operation occurs on the albums table of the chinook.sqlite database.
Change Data Capture
Change Data Webhooks let you send structured HTTP requests to any external service whenever a row in a specific database and/or table is modified. These webhooks include:
- Database name
- Table name
- Operation type (insert, update, delete)
- Changed row data
This enables seamless integration with logging systems, monitoring dashboards, or external APIs that react to database activity.
Upon creation, each webhook is assigned a secret key used to verify the authenticity of incoming requests.
You can also manage and review all active webhooks from your project dashboard.
Trigger Edge Functions
Webhooks in SQLite Cloud aren’t limited to data capture—they can also trigger Edge Functions:
- Via HTTP or WebSocket
- In response to database write events
This allows developers to build distributed, event-driven applications that react immediately to changes at the edge.
