WebhookPillar

W · Glossary

A webhook is an instant notification sent from one system to another when something happens. Example: when a form is submitted, it immediately sends the data to your automation tool. Webhooks are fast and efficient compared to ‘checking every 15 minutes’ style polling. They are great for real-time workflows like lead capture and payments. If APIs are the conversation, webhooks are the doorbell: ‘Hey, something just happened, come look’.
