Event

Events in GitBook occur when specific actions occur in a GitBook Space or environment. Your integration can tap into these events, read information about them, and dispatch actions as they occur.

They are declared within the createIntegration call, and should return async callback functions for the events you would like to listen to.

Example:

export default createIntegration({
    events: {
        space_view: async (event, context) => {
            // Handle event when the space your integration is installed in is viewed
        },
    },
});
