A webhook is simply a way for an app to provide other applications with real-time information. A webhook delivers data to other applications as it happens, meaning you get data immediately.
It is recommendable to use webhooks when you don’t want or cannot (due to API restrictions) constantly “call” to a certain system in order to check if it has received any new or updated data, even if in fact, there is no valuable information to fetch most of the time. Instead, webhooks allow you to receive information only when new or updated data has indeed come in.
