What are Webhooks?
Definition
Automated messages sent from apps when specific events occur enabling real-time data sync and workflow triggers. Webhooks push data to other systems instantly when triggers fire unlike APIs which require polling for updates."
Why This Matters
Webhooks enable real-time data synchronization by pushing updates when events occur. Real-time integration requirements typically need webhook support rather than polling-based approaches.
