You can hack almost anything using inbound Event API (https://jitsu.com/docs/sending-data/api) and JavaScript transformations (https://jitsu.com/blog/javascript-transform)


A standard webhook source abstraction would be very useful, that captures the URI, POST payload and HTTP headers.

This way I can setup my source in Jitsu, get a unique URL, and then paste that URL into the tool generating webhook events (e.g. Shopify). A normalized schema based on the JSON payload doesn't need to be created for this to be useful.


Ok cool.

As a bit of feedback, I highly suggest adding Webhooks as a source on your marketing site.

The first thing I did is navigate to the Sources page and searched for "webhook" which brought up no results.

I then searched your docs which only mention Webhooks in the context of being a destination rather than a source.

I realise now that you have quite a flexible ingestion API, but it took quite a while (and your confirmation above) to understand this!

The product looks awesome though! Good luck with the launch.


Thanks for observation! We will add it. A fresh look to marketing materials is always appreciated!
