SureDash Developer Hooks

SureDash introduces a set of developer hooks in v1.5.0 to make integrations and extensions easier. These hooks open up SureDash Core and Pro events so that tools like OttoKit or your own custom plugins can connect, listen to user actions, and trigger workflows automatically.

You can use these hooks to extend SureDash functionality, build automations, or send data to external services.
