Ongoing monitoring for approved UK businesses using webhook-based registry alerts
Use Entylink to turn approved UK businesses into monitored entities, so filing, officer, PSC, and related registry changes can trigger operational review through webhooks.
Operators with a live workflow problem
Where the workflow usually breaks down
Most teams stop at the initial lookup and never operationalize change monitoring.
Polling and manual review create fragile workflows that do not scale with the approved portfolio.
Material company changes arrive after approval, but downstream systems often have no clean way to react.
A practical implementation path
Approve or onboard the business using the initial registry workflow.
Create a webhook subscription for the approved company.
Deliver relevant company changes into queues, internal services, or review systems.
Trigger follow-up review when the monitored entity changes materially.
Solve the workflow, not just the lookup
Monitoring as a first-class workflow
Ongoing monitoring should not be treated as an afterthought once the approved portfolio starts growing.
A better alternative to polling
Webhook delivery is a cleaner operational model than building and maintaining registry polling infrastructure internally.
Useful across multiple teams
The same monitoring layer can feed compliance, fraud, credit, procurement, and onboarding follow-up workflows.
Questions that slow down adoption
Can we just review periodically instead?
Periodic review has a place, but it should not be the only mechanism when change signals can be operationalized in near real time.
Why dedicate a separate page to monitoring workflows?
Because monitoring intent is commercially different from lookup intent and usually maps to higher-value ongoing usage.
Does this require a complex stream-processing project?
No. That is the point of the product positioning: a webhook-based monitoring layer instead of a raw integration burden.
Clarify the product's role in the stack
How many companies can I monitor at once?
Each webhook subscription covers one company number. The number of active subscriptions scales with your plan: 3 on Free, 10 on Starter, 50 on Growth, and 200 on Pro. You can point multiple subscriptions at the same endpoint if you want fan-in delivery.
What kinds of changes matter most?
Filings, officer changes, PSC changes, and other entity-level changes that justify follow-up review in operational systems.
What happens if my webhook endpoint is down when a change fires?
Entylink retries failed deliveries with exponential back-off. If your endpoint recovers within the retry window you will receive the event. Each delivery attempt includes an HMAC-SHA256 signature header so you can verify authenticity before processing.
