summary: >-
  Anecdotes publishes no AsyncAPI document, but it does ship a real outbound event surface: Playbooks.
  A Playbook binds a platform event (its trigger) to an action, and one of the available actions is
  "Create a webhook", which POSTs to a customer-supplied URL. The event catalog below is transcribed
  from the provider's published trigger list. Events are configured and filtered in the platform UI -
  there is no public subscription API, and the provider does not publish payload schemas, delivery
  guarantees, retry behaviour or signature verification for the outbound POST.

notes:
- >-
  Because the provider publishes no AsyncAPI and no payload schemas, nothing beyond the event names,
  domains and filter dimensions above is asserted here. No channel bindings or message schemas were
  invented.
- >-
  This is the only event surface Anecdotes exposes; there is no streaming, queue or server-sent-events
  API in the published documentation.
