Webhooks are usually triggered by an event, such as a new user registration, an order being placed, or a file being uploaded. When this event occurs, the source application sends an HTTP request (usually a POST request) to a pre-defined endpoint (URL) of the target application. This request contains relevant information about the event, allowing the target application to react accordingly.
To use webhooks, developers need to create an endpoint in their application that can receive and process incoming webhook requests. They also need to configure the source application to send webhook requests to that endpoint when specific events occur.
Webhooks are widely used for various purposes, including:
– Sending real-time notifications to users
– Integrating different services and applications
– Automating workflows and processes
Overall, webhooks are a powerful tool for developers, allowing applications to communicate with each other and react to events in real-time, resulting in seamless and efficient workflows.
