Webhooks: event-driven integrations

A webhook is a way for one system to notify another when something happens (an event). Instead of polling, the sender makes an HTTP request to a URL you provide. Webhooks power real-time integrations: form submissions to CRM, payments to fulfilment, booking confirmations to analytics, and more.

Best practices

  • Verify signatures/secret tokens to prevent spoofing.
  • Handle retries and idempotency (events can be delivered more than once).
  • Queue processing so spikes don’t break your system.
