  Formality documents a real, signed webhook surface but publishes NO AsyncAPI
  document, so this file carries the webhook catalogue and apis.yml gets a Webhooks
  pointer only — no AsyncAPI pointer. The webhook is documented in the "Webhook de
  téléchargement de documents" section of the French user-management help page; there
  is no dedicated webhook reference page and no English version was found. Formality
  also advertises webhooks on its marketing FAQ: "An API and webhooks are also
  available for your in-house tools."
delivery:
  style: http-post-callback
  subscriber_configured: true

    note: Validates that the configured endpoint is reachable.
security:
  signing: HMAC-SHA256
  signature_header: undocumented
  secret_distribution: undocumented
  replay_protection: undocumented
  note: >-
    Payloads are stated to be signed with HMAC-SHA256, which is the single strongest
    piece of event-surface engineering Formality publishes. The header carrying the
    signature, the shared-secret provisioning mechanism and any timestamp/nonce
    replay window are all undocumented, so a consumer cannot actually implement
    verification from the published docs alone.
scope:
  domain: document access + signature audit events
  purpose: security / audit trail
  note: >-
    This is an AUDIT webhook, not a contract-lifecycle webhook. It reports who
    touched a document, not that an agreement changed state. There is no documented
    event for agreement created/updated, deadline reached, obligation triggered,
    extraction completed or workflow approved — which is the event set an
    integrator would most expect from a CLM platform.
events:
- event: document_viewed
  documented_as: consultation de document
  trigger: A user views a document.
- event: document_downloaded
  documented_as: téléchargement de document
  trigger: A user downloads a document.
- event: document_bulk_downloaded
  documented_as: téléchargement groupé
  trigger: A user performs a bulk download.
- event: document_signed
  documented_as: signature de document
  trigger: A document is signed.

  note: >-
    Field NAMES above are our English renderings of the French prose list; the
    literal JSON keys, their types and an example payload are not published. No
    schema was fabricated for this reason.

  documented: false

event_count: 4
gaps_worth_raising_with_provider:
- Publish the JSON payload schema and an example event.
- Name the HMAC signature header and document the replay window.
- Document retry/backoff and delivery guarantees.
- Consider contract-lifecycle events (agreement state change, deadline, extraction complete).
- Publish an AsyncAPI document for the event surface.
- Provide an English version of the webhook documentation.
