Thanks for your reply Robin! I agree with you but do you think dogfooding webhooks is common/good practice? Feels clumsy to me. This is really what's at the heart of my hesitation.

We have abstracted helper functions for 'services' (e.g. get-events) and 'system events' (SNS) which load up 'queues' (SQS) that invoke 'services' (Lambda). Seems a shame to ignore this wonderful workflow and configure webhooks instead which means we have to create a new integration API (with auth) to catch the hook requests, which then has to implement it's own queues and services. See what I mean? If you still think stand alone is the way to go, I'm all ears just wanted to offer a little more context and see if this changes anything.

Hmm, I see what you mean. I don't thinks it's particularly hacky to consume your own webhooks, but I guess in my opinion it comes down to whether you're looking to replicate or expose the functionality in the future - if not, the additional abstraction layer may not be worth it.

You also need to consider which team is building what and how is this new functionality is going to be used in the future.
