note: >-
  Lytics has a real outbound event surface but publishes NO AsyncAPI document for it, so
  none is recorded here and none was fabricated. The surface is Lytics-OUT: Lytics POSTs
  to a customer-supplied endpoint when a profile enters or leaves an audience. There is
  no inbound-webhook-to-Lytics surface and no signed-payload verification scheme
  documented — outbound auth is whatever the customer's destination requires, configured
  as a Lytics authorization. The payload shape is NOT fixed by Lytics: the customer
  authors a template that produces it, which is why no event schema can be published.
direction: outbound (Lytics calls the customer's endpoint)
transport: HTTPS POST
events:
  - name: audience entrance
    trigger: A user profile enters an audience.
    workflow: webhook_triggers
    docs: https://docs.lytics.com/docs/webhooks
  - name: audience exit
    trigger: A user profile leaves an audience.
    workflow: webhook_triggers

    workflow: webhook_enrichment

payload:
  fixed_schema: false
  authoring: >-
    The request body is produced by a customer-authored Webhook Template applied to the
    profile/entity data.
  template_languages:
    - {name: Jsonnet, api_value: jsonnet, note: 'Profile data accessed via event.get() from the lytemplates.libsonnet library.'}
    - {name: JavaScript, api_value: js1, note: 'Must define `function template(data)` returning a JSON-serializable value; the return value becomes the request body.'}
  test_endpoint: POST /v2/template/{id}/test
  test_note: >-
    Lytics' own agent-skills changelog records that /v2/template/{id}/test requires a
    `desired_format` query parameter to succeed, that update is PUT (not POST), and that
    the JS entry point is `template` (not `transformData`) — runtime details that differ
    from the public docs.
authorization:
  note: Authorization for the outbound call is configured as a Lytics authorization on the Webhook provider.
  methods:
    - {method: none, description: 'Webhook endpoint does not require authorization.'}
    - {method: header-or-parameter, description: 'Static request headers (key:value per line) and/or URL parameters attached to every POST.'}
    - {method: oauth2-client-credentials, description: 'RFC 6749 §4.4 client credentials. Lytics retrieves and refreshes the token from the configured Token URL and sends `Authorization: Bearer <token>`; a custom header format with a {token} placeholder is supported, as is a Ping Federate Access Token Manager ID.'}

constraints:
  - >-
    Time-window audience triggers must use a window of at least 30 minutes; smaller
    windows are unreliable because of the audience-membership evaluation pipeline.
  - >-
    Changing an audience definition that has an active webhook: Lytics recommends
    stopping the webhook workflow and recreating it after the change.
  - 'Max output event size: 1 MB per trigger event (see rate-limits/lytics-rate-limits.yml).'
  - 'Egress rate is quota-based and varies by plan tier.'
