Introducing Webhooks
Webhooks are automated notifications generated by system events that occur for your
organization. Using the Webhooks REST API, you can subscribe to receive notifications
for the events of your choice and designate a URL in your system to receive the
notifications. This is especially helpful for events that are not part of an API request
and response, or are not covered by the Reporting API. For example, you can be notified
anytime a security key expires, an invoice is canceled, or a network token is
provisioned. You can program your system to respond to those events in any way you
choose. For information about products and event types, see Product and Event Types.
The Webhooks REST API enables you to update or delete existing webhooks, check the status
of a webhook, and retrieve notification history and details.
