Webhook
A webhook is an automatic message one app sends to another the instant an event happens, such as notifying your CRM when a payment is made. Unlike checking repeatedly for updates, a webhook pushes the news immediately, enabling real time reactions between connected systems.
A webhook is a way for apps to say something just happened, right away. Instead of one system constantly asking another for updates, the source system fires off a webhook the moment an event occurs, delivering the details instantly.
Webhooks make automation feel immediate. When a lead submits a form, a webhook can notify your CRM in real time so follow-up starts within seconds. They are a common building block behind fast, responsive integrations.
