WebhookBeam

What are webhooks and how do they work?

A webhook is an HTTP callback that one application sends to another the instant an event occurs. Instead of polling an API repeatedly, the external service (such as Stripe, Shopify, or PayPal) sends an HTTP POST request to your webhook URL the moment something happens — a payment succeeds, an order is placed, a subscription renews. Webhooks are faster than polling and enable truly real-time integrations.
