How do webhooks work?

Webhooks are a way for different applications to communicate with each other instantly and automatically. They work through a push mechanism, where one application sends immediate notifications or data to another application when a specific event occurs. Typically, the process starts when an event takes place in the source application. The source application then sends an HTTP POST request to a predefined URL, known as the webhook, hosted by the destination application. The destination application receives the webhook, processes the information, and takes appropriate actions. It allows real-time data synchronization between applications, facilitating seamless integration and automation of various processes.
