Webhooks

A webhook is an automatic notification that we can send directly to your system after an event takes place against your account. Rather than requiring you to pull information via our API, webhook notifications will push information directly to a URL that is specified by you via HTTPS POST.

The solution allows you, rather than sending API requests, to update your internal systems automatically, resulting in increased automation and enhanced efficiency.

For more more information on how to configure and use our webhook solution, please see here.
