Hi Prefect Team, we are currently evaluating open-source workflow orchestration tools, Prefect and Windmill are in our shortlist. For the time being, we wish to use the OSS version - neither our size nor our use case would call for the supported enterprise version. One big drawback of Prefect, in our view, is the missing webhook feature in OSS. In November 2024, @Nate wrote here that "_*we do not yet support webhooks in OSS, though we'd like to add this soon!*_" (https://linen.prefect.io/t/23443245/hello-all-is-creating-a-custom-webhook-supported-on-the-loca#f61b408e-be28-401d-808a-83e673626f8e). 9 months have passed since then so I wanted to inquire if this is still something you're planning to do. As far as I was able to see, it was not made part of version 3 which was released only very recently, so the plan may have changed.

hi @Vic - yes this is something we'd still like to do when time/priority allow. can you explain the way in which its a a blocker for you? ie why can't you
emit_event
from elsewhere instead of curling a webhook? to be clear, i understand that the webhook option might be easier, just curious

Hi @Nate, thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I have a specific use case where another system (a ticketing system, to be exact) can only send information to other systems using web hooks, and only using basic auth.

makes sense! thanks for explaining
