Trigger and inspect CircleCI pipelines and workflows, manage projects and contexts, and configure schedules and webhooks. When CircleCI fires an event, update docs, notify on-call, or open a follow-up task.
Create WebhookManually creates an outbound webhook subscription in CircleCI. For the platform's own trigger lifecycle (auto-managed attach/detach), use the Watch Workflow & Job Events trigger instead — using both for the same URL double-subscribes it.
Delete WebhookManually deletes an outbound webhook subscription in CircleCI. Do not use this to remove a Watch Workflow & Job Events trigger's own subscription — removing/deactivating that trigger node detaches it automatically; deleting its webhook here directly leaves the trigger node pointing at a subscription CircleCI no longer has.
Make an API CallPerforms an arbitrary authorized API call.
Update WebhookManually updates an outbound webhook subscription in CircleCI. To reconfigure the platform's own trigger (events/project), edit the Watch Workflow & Job Events node instead — it manages its own subscription's lifecycle separately from webhooks created here.
When to use CircleCI
Common scenarios where CircleCI automation saves time and reduces manual work.
Use CircleCI's "Watch Workflow & Job Events" trigger to react the instant an event occurs and push data into connected tools.
Run "Get Component" in CircleCI from any upstream event — map fields once and let the automation handle the rest.
Combine "Get Component" from CircleCI with triggers or actions in other apps to close the loop — one event, many downstream outcomes.
