Integration & APIs
Webhook
An HTTP callback that sends real-time data from one application to another when a specific event occurs.
Complete Definition
A Webhook is a way for an application to provide real-time information to other applications by sending HTTP POST requests when specific events occur. Unlike APIs where you poll for data, webhooks push data to your system immediately. Salesforce Platform Events and Outbound Messages can act as webhooks, notifying external systems of changes in real-time.

- 1Push-based, not pull-based
