#Webhooks

Webhooks are a way for one system to notify another immediately when something happens, by sending an HTTP request to a prepared address. They are an alternative to polling, where a system checks a source repeatedly for changes. Many chat tools and automation platforms accept incoming webhooks, which makes them useful endpoints for feed items. Webhooks are fast and efficient but need secure URLs and error handling. Articles under this tag explain how webhooks work and when to use them instead of feeds.
