Developer workflow automation
Automate Day 2 work with context, not scripts in a drawer
Platform teams need more than one-off cron jobs. Exemplar ties triggers (CI, incidents, integrations), workflows (self-service actions and runbooks), and service context from the catalog so automation is repeatable, owned, and observable—whether you start from a button in the portal or an event on the wire.
How automation fits together
From trigger to action—grounded in live service data
Example flow: inbound events and webhooks drive workflows that target catalog-backed workloads.
Self-service actions
Run approved workflows on demand against services after first ship—restart, scale, rotate secrets, or trigger pipelines without ticket ping-pong.
Event-driven automation
React to deploys, incidents, and toolchain signals: inbound webhooks and outbound delivery with signing, retries, and a clear audit trail.
Catalog-backed context
Workflows resolve ownership, dependencies, and runtime metadata from the service catalog so automation targets the right workloads every time.
Guardrails & visibility
Pair automation with governance: policy checks, approvals where needed, and delivery metrics so teams can trust what ran, when, and why.
AI-assisted automation: use natural language in the AI assistant to draft webhooks, query catalog state, and chain actions—with the same guardrails as the console.
Webhooks as a service
Managed events in and out of the platform
When something happens in your toolchain—or you need to notify another system—Exemplar can host the endpoint, verify signatures, retry delivery, and give operators the same logs and metrics they expect from product-grade infrastructure.
Webhook delivery
Reliable delivery with automatic retries and failure handling
- Retries with backoff
- Delivery status tracking

- Filtering and transformation
- Conditional rules
- Load balancing across targets
Security & authentication
Protect webhook traffic end to end
- HMAC signature verification
- API keys and scoped tokens
- OAuth-style flows where applicable
- IP allowlists and rate limits
Monitoring & analytics
Visibility into delivery and errors
- Success rates and latency
- Error surfaces for debugging
