Webhook
An automated HTTP callback triggered when a specific event occurs in a system.
A webhook is a mechanism for one application to send real-time data to another application when a specific event occurs. Unlike APIs (which require polling), webhooks push data automatically when events happen — for example, when an incident is triggered, a form is submitted, or a payment is completed. Webhooks are essential for building event-driven integrations between SaaS tools.
