Rules Engine

Programmatically filter, delay, deduplicate, and transform webhook payloads on the fly.

Overview

The Bunnylynk Rules Engine allows you to manipulate and filter webhooks in the cloud without modifying your backend application code.

Logic

Filtering & Routing

Drop noise and route specific events using JSONPath, status codes, and header expressions.

Structure

Payload Transformations

Rewrite payloads, extract sub-objects, and inject custom headers or API secrets.

Scheduling

Delays & Debouncing

Hold events for configurable delay intervals to allow third-party syncs to finish.

How Rules Execute

When an event arrives on a Connection, the rules pipeline processes it in four sequential stages:

  Raw Event -> [1. Deduplication] -> [2. Filters] -> [3. Transformations] -> [4. Delays & Dispatch]

If a filter evaluates to false, the event is marked IGNORED (not sent to destination), saving compute costs while remaining fully queryable in your audit log.
