Hermes Webhook Bridge — Trigger the Agent from External Events
Connect Hermes Agent to external services via webhooks. Trigger automations from GitHub, Stripe, Jira, and any webhook-compatible service.
Quick answer
A Hermes webhook bridge connects the agent to external services so events from GitHub, Stripe, Jira, or any webhook source can trigger Hermes, and Hermes can notify back out. It is the lightweight, event-driven way to automate without writing a full API integration.
Webhooks are the simplest way to make Hermes reactive: an external event fires, the bridge hands it to the agent, and Hermes acts. No SDK, no polling.

Why this tool matters
A webhook bridge turns Hermes from something you message into something the world can trigger. A GitHub issue, a Stripe charge, a Jira transition — each becomes an event the agent can respond to with its tools and memory.
Event filtering keeps it sane. You decide which events matter so the agent is not woken for every notification, which is the difference between a useful automation and a noisy one.
Outbound notifications close the loop: Hermes can push results back to a channel or service after it acts, so a webhook-triggered run produces a visible outcome rather than disappearing into logs.
Bridges shine for event-driven glue; for fine-grained, in-process control you would use the Python API client instead. The two compose — webhooks to trigger, the client to embed — depending on how much control you need.
Best use cases
FAQ
The bridge is for event-driven triggers — an external service fires an event and Hermes reacts. The Python API client is for fine-grained, in-process control. They compose: webhooks to trigger, the client to embed.
Use event filtering to select which events matter. That keeps the agent from being woken for every notification and turns the bridge into a focused automation.
Yes. Outbound notifications let Hermes push results to a channel or service after it acts, so a triggered run produces a visible outcome.
