What are webhooks?

Webhooks are a way for Bevy to send close to real-time data to another application or service (on the customer side) when a specific event or trigger occurs. They are a form of communication between different software systems over the internet. Webhooks are commonly used to enable integrations and automate processes between various web services, applications, and platforms.

They are different from APIs. Learn more about this difference in this article.
