A webhook is, to put it simply, an automatic communication system between apps. What they do is provide a simple solution for the exchange of data between web applications, or even between our website and those applications.
02
APIs and webhooks facilitate app communication but differ in data transfer. APIs use polling, actively requesting data. Webhooks are event-driven, passively sending data when triggered. Webhooks are simpler but less flexible than APIs, making them suitable for smaller projects or when technical expertise is limited.
03
While APIs and webhooks serve distinct purposes, they often complement each other. Webhooks can trigger API calls, creating a robust system for real-time data transfer between applications. This integration is common in web applications interacting with email managers or social networks.
04
Webhooks are automated triggers. When a specific event happens, a pre-defined HTTP request is sent to a URL you specify. This allows real-time data transfer between apps. Think of them as automated messengers carrying information about events.
05
Webhooks are essential for efficient marketing automation. They provide real-time insights into app transactions, enabling data synchronization, automated updates, and seamless application integration. This boosts productivity, prevents missed opportunities, and keeps your CRM up-to-date.
Webhooks automate tasks. When something happens, they send a message. This lets apps talk to each other instantly. They're like helpful assistants, making workflows smoother and faster.
