What is a Webhook? (And How You Can Use It)
Updated over a week ago

Hey there! Let’s dive into something cool called webhooks. Imagine you’ve set up a little robot that watches for something to happen and, when it does, it taps you on the shoulder to let you know. That’s kind of what a webhook does, but for apps and websites!

So, What Exactly is a Webhook? 🤔

In the easiest way to explain it: A webhook is a way for one app or website to send a message to another app whenever something happens. It's like a notification but for software!

For example, if you buy something online, a webhook can tell another app that your order is confirmed. Or if you upload a photo, the app might send a webhook to another service to let it know the new photo is ready. It all happens in the background, so you don’t even see it, but it helps apps work together smoothly!

What Can Webhooks Be Used For? 🎯

Webhooks are super useful and can be used for all sorts of things like:

- Sending alerts: Like when a new email arrives, or a file is uploaded.

- Tracking updates: If someone changes their profile picture or makes a post.

- Automating tasks: Automatically copying your photos to cloud storage or syncing your calendar with events.
