Webhook Intro

Webhooks play a crucial role in modern web development by enabling real-time communication between different applications and services. A webhook is a mechanism that allows one application to send automated HTTP requests to another application whenever a specific event or trigger occurs. Unlike traditional APIs where the client initiates requests for data, webhooks are initiated by the server when an event happens.

Webhooks find applications in a wide range of scenarios, such as notifying about creditor decisions, updating data in response to external changes, integrating third-party services in order to automate workflows. They provide a seamless way for systems to communicate without requiring constant polling, making them efficient and responsive for event-driven architectures.

In this guide, we'll explore the concept of webhooks in Credit App and how to implement them in your applications.
