What is Hookdeck?

Hookdeck is a webhook service. A reliable Event Gateway for event-driven applications

Hookdeck is part of an event-delivery pipeline rather than an AI crawler, so it has little direct bearing on AI search. Knowing its signature still helps you separate legitimate callbacks from unexpected automated traffic in your logs.

Like any automated client, Hookdeck consumes crawl budget and appears in your server and CDN logs. Reviewing those logs alongside your robots.txt rules helps you keep automated traffic deliberate and easy to reason about.

Want to see every AI bot hitting your site? Promptwatch turns your server and CDN logs into a live view of AI crawler and agent traffic, so you can watch ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and others crawl your pages and connect those visits to real citations and revenue. Learn more in AI crawler logs.

Promptwatch turns your server and CDN logs into a live view of AI crawler and agent traffic. Watch ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and more crawl your pages in real time, see exactly what they take, and connect every crawl to the citations and revenue it drives.

How to handle Hookdeck

Whether to allow Hookdeck depends on whether you rely on the service behind it. Use a robots.txt rule to allow or disallow it.

To control Hookdeck, add a rule for its user agent to your robots.txt:

User-agent: Hookdeck
Disallow: /

Hookdeck generally honors robots.txt directives.

Examples

  • Hookdeck delivers a real-time callback to a configured endpoint when a tracked event occurs.
  • An engineer verifies the source of incoming Hookdeck requests before processing the payload.
