Note: Event Subscriptions is a paid feature. - Infisical Cloud users: Event Subscriptions is available under the Enterprise Tier. - Self-Hosted Infisical: Please contact sales@infisical.com to purchase an enterprise license.
Event Subscriptions in Infisical allow you to receive real-time notifications when specific actions occur within your account or organization. These notifications include changes to secrets, users, teams, and many more coming soon.

​
How It Works

  • Server receives message over pubsub connection indicating changes have occurred
  • Server processes the change notification
  • Updated data is synchronized across all connected Infisical instances
  • Client applications receive real-time updates through Server-Sent Events (SSE)
  • All servers maintain consistent state without manual intervention
This ensures your infrastructure stays up-to-date automatically, without requiring restarts or manual synchronization.
Event Subscriptions are designed for real-time communication and do not include persistence or replay capabilities—events are delivered once and are not stored for future retrieval.

​
Supported Resources

You can currently subscribe to notifications for the following resources and event types:
  • Secrets
    • secret:created: Triggered when a secret is created
    • secret:updated: Triggered when a secret is updated
    • secret:deleted: Triggered when a secret is deleted

​
