All webhooks use a consistent envelope structure:
{
"Payload": {
"Id": "497f6eca-6276-4993-bfeb-53cbbbba6f08"
},
"Topic": "project.created",
"CorrelationId": "7c9e6679-7425-40de-944b-e07fc1f90ae7",
"EventOccurredOn": "2025-01-01T12:00:00Z"
}| Field | Description |
|---|---|
Payload | Event-specific data (varies by topic) |
Topic | The event type (e.g., project.created) |
CorrelationId | Unique identifier for this event delivery |
EventOccurredOn | ISO 8601 timestamp when the event occurred |
| Topic | Description | Payload Fields | ModifiedProperties Values |
|---|---|---|---|
project.created | A project was created | Id | — |
project.modified | A project was modified | Id, ModifiedProperties | archived, client_id, currency_code, is_included, start_date, end_date, project_model, name, status, tags, target_budget, target_margin, stage_id |
projectoffering.created | A project offering was created | Id, ProjectId | — |
projectoffering.modified | A project offering was modified | Id, ProjectId, ModifiedProperties | name, rate_card_id, billing_model, fee_schedule |

projectofferingrole.modified | A project offering role was modified | Id, ProjectId, ProjectOfferingId, ModifiedProperties | role_id, assignment, tags |
projectofferingrole.deleted | A project offering role was deleted | Id, ProjectId, ProjectOfferingId | — |
For .modified events, the ModifiedProperties array indicates which fields changed. Use this to understand what data elements changed, and whether you wish to call the API to retrieve the updated values..
- Always verify signatures before processing webhook data to ensure requests are authentic
- Implement replay protection by checking that the timestamp is recent
- Use constant-time comparison when comparing signatures to prevent timing attacks
- Respond quickly with a 2xx status code, then process the webhook asynchronously if needed
- Handle retries idempotently using the
CorrelationIdto detect duplicate deliveries - Use HTTPS for your callback URL to protect webhook data in transit
Clients
A client represents the customer organization associated with one or more projects. Clients serve as the primary entity used to group projects, service offerings, and resource plans, allowing for aggregated reporting on revenue, margin, utilization, and forecasting. Each project is tied to a client, enabling organizations to track work and financial performance at both the individual project and client account levels.
Operations
Departments
A department is used to categorize and group roles within the organization based on functional teams or disciplines. Departments help segment resource capacity, manage utilization targets, and support filtering within reporting and planning workflows. Each role in Parallax belongs to a department for organizational clarity and capacity planning.
Operations
People
People represent the individual resources available for assignment to projects. People are assigned roles, billable capacity, and utilization targets, and can be categorized by worker type, billing type, and department. A Persons record is central to capacity planning, resource allocation, forecasting, and reporting across the platform.
Operations
ProjectOfferingRoles
A Project Offering Role defines the specific role, resource allocation, and scheduled hours needed within a Project Offering. These roles form the basis of the resource plan by identifying the skill sets, timelines, and capacity requirements for successful delivery of the scoped work.
Operations
ProjectOfferings
A Project Offering represents a distinct scope or phase of work within a Project. Each Project Offering contains resource plans, financial models, and revenue data, allowing organizations to model different work types and billing structures within a single project. Offerings help align sales, delivery, and operations teams around specific scopes of work and resourcing needs.
Operations
WebhookSubscribers
Webhook configurations enable organizations to receive real-time event notifications via HTTP callbacks. Organizations can configure a single webhook endpoint to receive notifications about events such as project or offering, creation or changes. Each webhook includes a secret key for validating the authenticity of incoming requests.Only one Webhook Subscriber is currently allowed per organization.
