About webhooks
- To start using a webhook, you need to link your application with the third party tool using a HTTP URL. This URL will receive data when a set of events are triggered. When the action related to any of the events are triggered, the data is sent to the URL.
- Triggers are set of events that you choose to send notifications when there is an update.
