Yext Plugins - Event definitions

Yext Plugins are TypeScript programs that customers may upload to Yext and run directly on our servers to respond to events that occur, enabling use cases such as the following:

  • Ingest a crawled URL, creating a structured record using custom logic.

  • Updates to the Knowledge Graph trigger updates to derived records.

Yext Plugins are developed using Deno, which enables developers to write in TypeScript, import other libraries, and test their code using a single, vertically-integrated development experience.

This repository contains the event definitions that activate Yext Plugins. Each event contains the relevant information about what happened, and it provides a method for the plugin to respond to it, typically called respondWith.

If you’re just getting started, look at the example ingestion plugin under examples/.
