Zapier & Webhooks
Zapier & Webhooks is the outbound automation surface — fire a signed HMAC webhook on platform events (project.created, share.accepted, export.completed, …) and connect to any Zapier or n8n workflow.
In depth
Webhooks are user-managed in settings. Each webhook has a name, URL, secret, event subscriptions, and delivery logs. Auto-disable triggers after repeated failures.
12+ recipe examples cover Zapier and n8n usage — from Slack notifications to CRM upserts and Google Sheets logs.
Examples
- project.created → Slack channel
- task.overdue → Zapier email
- export.completed → Drive copy

Hook
A hook is an event-driven trigger that runs Theo automatically when something happens — a project is created, a share is accepted, a task goes overdue, a forum reply lands.
Workflow
A workflow is a multi-step automation — tool calls, AI transforms, conditions, delays, and notifications wired together with branching logic and credit checkpoints.
E.V.I. (Executable Visual Intelligence)
E.V.I. (Executable Visual Intelligence) is the OpenCharts pipeline runtime — turn any flowchart into a live AI workflow where Theo executes each node in real time, calls APIs, and produces real deliverables.
