WebSocket

Waypath provides a WebSocket connection for real-time graph mutation events. The dashboard uses this to update the Intelligence and Pipeline views live.

Connecting


const ws = new WebSocket('wss://api.waypath.app/ws')
 
ws.onopen = () => {
  console.log('Connected to Waypath')
}
 
ws.onmessage = (event) => {
  const mutation = JSON.parse(event.data)
  console.log('Graph mutation:', mutation)
}

For local development: ws://localhost:4747/ws

Mutation events

Each message contains a graph mutation event:


{
  "type": "node_added",
  "data": {
    "id": "node_abc123",
    "label": "Customer",
    "properties": {
      "name": "Sarah Chen",
      "email": "sarah@example.com"
    }
  }
}

Event types

Type	Description
`node_added`	A new node was created in the graph
`node_updated`	An existing node’s properties changed
`node_removed`	A node was deleted
`edge_added`	A new relationship was created
`edge_removed`	A relationship was deleted
`graph_rebuilt`	The full graph was reconstructed from Pipeline data

When events fire

WebSocket events broadcast on:

Event ingestion (new touchpoints, customers)
CRM mutations (Pipeline edits)
Integration syncs (new data from connected platforms)
Graph rebuilds (scheduled or triggered)
