Contentful webhooks now support event topics surrounding releases, scheduled actions and bulk actions.

These new event topics help Contentful developers to manage automations at scale and build sophisticated publication automations by consolidating entry and asset webhooks into a single event.

__Key use cases for the new webhooks include:

• Release and release action webhooks will help reduce CI workflow builds by listening to a single webhook instead of listening to individual entries that are part of larger publication events. This will result in fewer rebuilds and therefore improved performance for end users if publication workflows exclusively use releases.
• Scheduled action webhooks will enable developers to catch scheduled events and automate workflows based on date and time.
• Bulk action webhooks will help developers to catch events when a batch of actions gets created and/or completed.
• Webhooks for failed release actions and scheduled actions give greater flexibility to choose where to be notified about these issues with integrations for programs such as Slack, Microsoft Teams, or Zapier.

Webhooks can be accessed from the webhook configuration page in any Contentful space (/spaces/[space-id]/settings/webhooks) and are available to all Contentful customers. Webhooks listening for specific topics will need to be explicitly opted into the new events, however webhooks listening to all event topics (*.*) will start seeing these new event types immediately.
