Webhook URL is a unique web address or endpoint provided by an external service or application to receive real-time data updates, notifications, or events. When certain events or actions occur within the source service or application, it sends a POST request to the webhook URL you've specified.

How it's Useful to You

Using a webhook URL offers several benefits for keeping your application updated and responsive

  1. Real-Time Updates: Webhooks ensure that your application receives instant notifications of relevant events, allowing you to act immediately.

  2. Automation: You can automate processes in your application based on incoming webhook data, reducing manual intervention.

  3. Data Synchronisation: Webhooks help keep your application's data in sync with changes happening on our platform.
