- Audience, notification-routing and secure-file providers are connected through the application’s declared provider contracts when those functions are used.
- Customer-facing applications consume EngagementHub through authorized placement/content/event/promotion/campaign capabilities.

About EngagementHub
EngagementHub gives workspace teams one governed system for news, announcements, events, promotions and coordinated campaigns. Content shares a common publishing model for titles, summaries, bodies, categories, tags, calls to action, media references, attachments, visibility, placements, related records, versions and publication state.
Editorial work moves through configurable review and approval steps before immediate or scheduled publication. The publication engine maintains schedules, expiry, feed indexing and per-viewer feed state. Events add occurrences, registration windows, capacity, waitlists, attendance, reminders and feedback. Promotions add codes, claims and claim lifecycle records. Campaigns add goals, channels, assets, stages, runs and measurable outcomes.
Audience targeting is provider-driven. EngagementHub discovers applications that advertise the audience-provider contract, loads catalogues and categories, establishes least-privilege provider access, and freezes returned members into reproducible snapshots. Secure media is delegated to the configured file-storage provider, while queued communication requests are handed to the configured notification-routing provider.
For application interoperability, EngagementHub exposes a canonical capability runtime across Handler, RCP and Bridge v2, implements the eight-operation ContextResolver contract, publishes domain events through the platform EventBus, consumes trusted project-reference and email-delivery events, and supports signed outbound webhooks with retries and delivery logs.
