webhook
Automated HTTP callback
A webhook is an automated message sent from one application to another when a specific event occurs.
Unlike traditional APIs where you repeatedly check for updates, webhooks push data immediately when something happens: The payment processor sends a webhook when a transaction completes.
Developers use webhooks to connect services—triggering actions in one system based on events in another.
