Webhooks

We now support two ways to receive match-related event notifications: through a single event-driven webhook (event_url), or using specific event webhooks (e.g., match_end_url, round_end_url). We recommend using the new event-driven webhooks for greater control and flexibility.

Event-Driven Webhooks (Recommended)

You can now configure a single event_url to receive webhooks for a variety of match-related events. By setting the enabled_events parameter, you control which events trigger webhooks.

Each event will include a UNIX timestamp to provide precise timing.

Example configuration:

  "webhooks": {
    "match_end_url": "",
    "round_end_url": "",
    "player_votekick_success_url": "",
    "event_url": "https://webhook.site/123",
    "enabled_events": [
      "match_started",
      "match_ended",
      "round_end"
    ],
    "authorization_header": ""
  },

The available event types for enabled_events are:

  • booting_server
  • loading_map
  • server_ready_for_players
  • all_players_connected
  • match_started
  • match_ended
  • players_exited
  • gotv_stopped
  • player_connected
  • player_disconnected
  • player_votekicked
  • round_end
  • match_canceled

If you want to subscribe to all events, simply use ["*"] for enabled_events

Event types

Match lifecycle events (fired in order)

When it fires

Payload

booting_server

When the match is created and the game server is starting up. This is the initial state of every match.

—

loading_map

When the server has finished booting and the map change command has been issued.

—

server_ready_for_players

When the map has fully loaded and all server configuration (cvars, passwords, warmup) has been applied. Players can now connect.

—

all_players_connected

When both teams have the required number of players connected. The pre-match countdown begins (match_begin_countdown, default 30s).

—

match_started

When the countdown has elapsed and both teams are still full. Warmup ends and competitive play begins.

—

match_ended

When the game reaches intermission (a team wins the required number of rounds). A 20-second grace period begins.

—

players_exited

20 seconds after match_ended. All players and bots are kicked from the server.

—

gotv_stopped

When the GOTV demo recording is stopped and the match is fully deactivated. This is the final event.

  • If wait_for_gotv is false (default): fires immediately after players_exited.
  • If true: fires after an additional tv_delay seconds (default 105s) so the GOTV broadcast finishes without spoiling the result.

—

Player Events (can fire at any time)

player_connected

When a registered match player connects to the server and joins a team.

steam_id_64

player_disconnected

When a previously connected player disconnects. Includes voluntary disconnects, network drops, and being kicked for joining the wrong team.

steam_id_64

player_votekicked

When a player is kicked via an in-game vote. Fires in addition to player_disconnected.

steam_id_64

Round Events

round_end

At the end of each round, once the round stats have been parsed.

team1_score, team2_score

Cancellation

match_canceled

When the match is canceled because not all required players connected within the connect_time window (default 300s). The match's cancel_reason field will contain MISSING_PLAYERS:<steam_ids>.

Legacy Webhook Integration

For simplicity, we still support specific webhook URLs for key events like match end, round end, and player votekick success. These are straightforward but provide less customization compared to the event-driven approach.

Match End

webhooks.match_end_url

Here is an example webhook of a match ending 13-7, sent immediately after the match ends.

Round End

webhooks.round_end_url

Here is an example webhook of how it can look after 5 rounds played:
