What are webhooks?

Webhooks are a method of communication between two different applications or systems. They allow real-time data transmission from one system to another, eliminating the need for constant polling. When certain events or triggers occur in one application, webhooks enable the sending of an HTTP POST request to a specified URL in the receiving application. This webhook payload contains relevant data about the event that has occurred, allowing the receiving application to take appropriate actions and process the information accordingly. Webhooks provide a powerful mechanism for integrating and syncing data across multiple systems and automating various processes.
