Webhook

A method for an app to provide real-time information to other applications.

Detailed Explanation

Webhooks are automated messages sent from apps when specific events occur. Instead of regularly checking for updates (polling), webhooks push data to other applications immediately when events happen. They enable real-time integrations between services and are commonly used for payment notifications, deployment triggers, and system monitoring.

Examples

  • Payment confirmations
  • Git push notifications
  • Form submissions
