A webhook is a user-defined HTTP callback provided by a web application. When certain events occur in the app, the app can make an HTTP POST request to a specified URL with data that is relevant to the event.

Key Features

  • Real-time Updates: Webhooks provide real-time notifications about events that occur in your application.
  • Customization: You can define what events trigger the webhook and what data is sent.
  • Integration: Webhooks can be used to integrate your application with third-party services.

How to Use

  1. Set up a Webhook: In your application settings, create a new webhook and specify the URL where you want to receive notifications.
  2. Configure Events: Choose the events that you want to be notified about.
  3. Data Format: Define the format of the data that will be sent in the webhook request.

Example

Imagine you have an e-commerce website. You can set up a webhook to notify you whenever a new order is placed. The webhook can send the order details to your email or a dashboard.
