API Reference

Chief is built around three APIs that customers may want to know about: the Slack event surface Chief listens to, the tool system Chief uses internally, and the webhook endpoints Chief exposes for Slack and Stripe to call.

There is no public REST API for Chief itself. The product surface is Slack — that’s the design choice. If you need programmatic access from your own systems, see Custom Integrations for the inverse pattern (you tell Chief about your APIs).

What’s In Here

• Slack Events — every Slack event type Chief subscribes to and how it routes them
• Tool System — the catalog of tools Chief can use to do work
• Webhook Endpoints — Stripe and Slack webhook URLs and what they do

Audience

These pages are written for technical readers — engineers, security reviewers, ops people — who want to understand the surface Chief exposes. End users don’t need to read this section.

Versioning

Chief is a SaaS, not a library. There’s no API version we ship to you. Behavior changes are announced in the changelog at hirechief.ai/changelog and breaking changes get a notice email at least 14 days in advance.
