Webhooks
By definition, a webhook (also called a web callback or HTTP push API) is a way for an app to provide other applications with real-time information. A webhook delivers data to other applications as it happens, meaning you get data immediately—unlike typical APIs where you would need to poll for data very frequently to get it in real time.

How Does It Work?
Webhooks are one way that apps can send automated messages or information to other apps. They are the magical conduits that connect applications and systems, creating a seamless and synchronized orchestra of data exchange.
They're a simple way your online accounts can "speak" to each other and get notified automatically when something new happens. In many cases, you'll need to know how to use webhooks if you want to automatically push data from one app to another.
Benefits & Value
Imagine a world where information flows effortlessly, like a symphony of harmonious data. A world where you don’t have to constantly refresh your browser or send countless requests to fetch updates. Welcome to the realm of webhooks, where real-time communication dances to the beat of efficiency and automation.
