Webhook
Last reviewed
Why it matters for Philippine businesses
Webhooks are how many tools tell an automation that something happened: a payment cleared, a form was sent, a message arrived. A business that wants its automation to react as the event happens usually uses a webhook trigger. Because a webhook is an open address, it should be protected so that only the intended system can call it.
Example
A payment provider calls a webhook address when a payment succeeds, and the workflow marks the order as paid.
