Webhooks

Webhooks are real-time system-to-system push notifications that relay events. These automated messages are sent from apps when something happens. They are a simple yet powerful way for different software systems to communicate with each other. In essence, a webhook delivers a data payload to a specific URL in response to an event in a source system.

For example, when a new order is placed in a marketplace, a webhook might trigger an update in a connected CRM. This makes webhooks an essential component in modern API-driven architectures, enabling real-time data sharing and process automation between various online services, enhancing efficiency and synchronicity in business operations.
