Webhook

A real-time mechanism that sends automated notifications from one system to another when an event occurs.

What is a Webhook?

Webhooks allow applications to communicate by sending automated data updates based on triggered events.

Webhooks are widely used for real-time integrations.

Common webhook use cases include:

  • Payment processing notifications (e.g., Stripe events)
  • CI/CD pipeline automation (e.g., GitHub webhooks)
  • CRM and marketing automation triggers

    • Unlike APIs, webhooks push data instantly rather than requiring polling.
