Webhooks
Webhooks are automated notifications sent from one service to another when a specific event occurs. Think of it like a keepsake alert system: when an event, such as a new order or a form submission, happens on a website, the site immediately sends data to another app or service via a webhook. This way, the receiving system can react instantly—like updating a database, sending an email, or triggering a process—without manual intervention or polling for updates. Webhooks enable real-time, efficient communication between different online services.
