What are the webhooks:

In English, a webhook is a way for applications or systems to communicate with each other in real time over the internet. It is a web-based mechanism that allows one application to send automatic updates or data to another application when a specific event or trigger occurs.

Here's how it works:

User Application sets up a webhook: User Application specifies a URL provided by URL Logger where it wants to receive the data or notifications.

An event occurs in User Application: This could be anything from a new user registration, a payment made, a status update, or any other predefined action.

User Application sends data to URL Logger: When the specified event occurs in the User Application, it will automatically send the relevant data as an HTTP request to the webhook URL of URL Logger.

URL Logger processes the data: upon receiving the data, extract the relevant information, and save it into the database. This data can be analysed or processed later.

Webhooks are commonly used in various web services, APIs, and integrations. They offer a more efficient and real-time way of keeping applications synchronized and up-to-date compared to traditional polling mechanisms where an application continuously checks for updates at regular intervals. With webhooks, the updates are delivered instantly as soon as the event occurs, reducing unnecessary traffic and processing time.
