Webhook

Definition

An automated HTTP callback that sends real-time data from one application to another when a specific event occurs.

Webhooks enable event-driven architectures by pushing data to a specified URL whenever a trigger event happens -- such as a new form submission, deal stage change, or payment received. Unlike polling APIs, webhooks deliver data instantly, making them ideal for real-time GTM workflows like routing new leads to Slack, syncing CRM updates to other tools, or triggering automations based on customer behavior.
