# Turn events into action, natively in Kong Konnect

Kong Webhook Engine delivers every event to any destination — with the reliability of a platform you already govern.

_01/ INGEST EVENTS_
_INGEST EVENTS_

## Take action on business events

**Publish an event from a Kafka topic or an incoming HTTP POST that subscribed consumers can receive and act on.**

_02/ FAN-OUT DELIVERY_
_FAN-OUT DELIVERY_

## One event, many destinations

**One event — a new ticket, a completed order — can notify a Slack channel, update a system, and invoke an AI agent all at once. Configure it once, not per destination.**

_03/ DURABLE BUFFERING_

## Reliable event delivery

**No lost events during a downstream outage. Events wait safely until every target is ready to receive them.**

_04/ FULL RETRY SEMANTICS_

## Production-grade delivery

**Configurable, guaranteed retry behavior for event and agent workflows.**

## Consolidate integration onto the platform you already govern

Webhook Engine brings integration and API governance under one control plane.

_01 / ONE PLATFORM, ONE BILL_

### Achieve simple integration use cases Konnect

Notification, sync, and fan-out use cases run at a fraction of the cost and complexity of a standalone integration platform.

_02 / FIT THE PLATFORM TO THE JOB_

### Right-size the platform to the workload

Not every integration needs a heavyweight iPaaS deployment. Easily move notification, sync, and delivery workloads onto Konnect. Configure fan-out delivery once — not per destination.

_03 / GOVERNANCE THAT DOESN'T STOP AT THE TOPIC_

### Extend Event Management control to downstream action

When combined with Kong Event Gateway, Kong Webhook Engine becomes the connectivity layer that turns "something happened" into "an agent acted on it" reliably, and at scale.

## Build and govern agent reactivity

Agents need a dependable way for the business to call them.

_01 / REACT_

### Trigger agents from business events

  • - A signup, a support ticket, a fraud signal, or Kafka topic activity can invoke an agent endpoint directly.
  • - No brittle, hand-rolled glue code between events and agent action.
_02 / CONNECTING AGENTS_

### Remove the integration glue

  • - Turn Kafka events into HTTP invocations without building custom consumers.
  • - Eliminate custom Kafka consumers for agent integrations.
  • - Reduce reliance on Lambdas, cron jobs, and bridging services.
_03 / GOVERNED, NOT BOLTED ON_

### Agent invocation governed like your APIs

  • - No separate, ungoverned consumer layer to secure and monitor.
  • - The same security, observability, and policy model you already use for APIs and events.
