Webhook
A webhook is an automated message sent from one system to another when a specific event occurs, commonly used to trigger real-time notifications or data transfers.
Definition
A webhook is an automated, event-triggered message sent from one system to another — for example, notifying an external system the moment an anomaly is detected, rather than requiring that system to repeatedly check for updates.
Why It Matters
Webhooks enable real-time integration without constant manual polling, useful for triggering alerts or downstream workflows immediately when an event occurs.
