AsyncAPI description of Netlify's asynchronous event surface. Two documented surfaces are modelled here: 1. Outgoing webhooks (deploy / form / split test notifications). Netlify issues an HTTP POST to a subscriber-configured URL whenever a documented `event` fires on a site. The HTTP body is a JSON representation of the entity tied to the event (a `deploy` for deploy_* events, a `submission` for submission_created / form_submission, a `splitTest` for split_test_* events). When the hook is configured with a JWS secret token, Netlify includes an `X-Webhook-Signature` header carrying a JWT (HS256) whose payload contains `iss: "netlify"` and `sha256` (hex SHA-256 of the body). Subscribers verify with the shared secret. 2. Build Hooks (inbound). Netlify exposes a per-site unique HTTPS URL under `https://api.netlify.com/build_hooks/{id}` that, when POSTed to, triggers a new build for the site. Optional query parameters (`trigger_branch`, `trigger_title`, `clear_cache`) override default build behaviour. Any request body is URL-encoded and exposed inside the build as the `INCOMING_HOOK_BODY` environment variable. Event names included here mirror the values returned by Netlify's `GET /api/v1/hooks/types` registry as enumerated by the user and the `events` array on the `hookType` schema in Netlify's open-api specification. Field shapes for `deploy`, `submission`, `splitTest`, and `buildHook` are taken directly from Netlify's published JSON Schemas in this repository (`json-schema/netlify-deploy-schema.json`, `netlify-submission-schema.json`, `netlify-splittest-schema.json`, `netlify-buildhook-schema.json`). No undocumented fields are invented.

build_hooks/{build_hook_id}
publishtriggerBuildHook
Trigger a build for the site
Inbound Build Hook. The subscriber (CMS, CI system, cron, etc.) issues an HTTP POST against the per-hook URL returned by `POST /api/v1/sites/{site_id}/build_hooks` to trigger a new build for the site. Optional query parameters override default behaviour; optional request body (URL-encoded) is exposed inside the build as the `INCOMING_HOOK_BODY` environment variable.

AsyncAPI description of Netlify's asynchronous event surface. Two
documented surfaces are modelled here:
1. Outgoing webhooks (deploy / form / split test notifications).
Netlify issues an HTTP POST to a subscriber-configured URL whenever a
documented `event` fires on a site. The HTTP body is a JSON
representation of the entity tied to the event (a `deploy` for
deploy_* events, a `submission` for submission_created /
form_submission, a `splitTest` for split_test_* events). When the
hook is configured with a JWS secret token, Netlify includes an
`X-Webhook-Signature` header carrying a JWT (HS256) whose payload
contains `iss: "netlify"` and `sha256` (hex SHA-256 of the body).
Subscribers verify with the shared secret.
2. Build Hooks (inbound). Netlify exposes a per-site unique HTTPS URL
under `https://api.netlify.com/build_hooks/{id}` that, when POSTed
to, triggers a new build for the site. Optional query parameters
(`trigger_branch`, `trigger_title`, `clear_cache`) override default
build behaviour. Any request body is URL-encoded and exposed inside
the build as the `INCOMING_HOOK_BODY` environment variable.
Event names included here mirror the values returned by Netlify's
`GET /api/v1/hooks/types` registry as enumerated by the user and the
`events` array on the `hookType` schema in Netlify's open-api
specification. Field shapes for `deploy`, `submission`, `splitTest`, and
`buildHook` are taken directly from Netlify's published JSON Schemas in
this repository (`json-schema/netlify-deploy-schema.json`,
`netlify-submission-schema.json`, `netlify-splittest-schema.json`,
`netlify-buildhook-schema.json`). No undocumented fields are invented.
