What is Webhook?
A way for one app to send real-time data to another app the moment an event happens, without needing to poll for updates.
In plain English
A webhook is essentially a 'push notification' between software applications. Instead of one app constantly asking another 'has anything changed?' (polling), the sending app pushes the data the moment something happens. This makes integrations much faster and more efficient. Most modern SMB tools (Shopify, Stripe, QuickBooks, etc.) support webhooks, which is what makes Zapier and Make integrations so powerful.
