Webhooks Overview
What are Webhooks?
Webhooks are user-defined HTTP callbacks that are triggered by specific events within an application. When an event occurs, such as a new user registration or data update, the webhook sends real-time data to a specified URL via a HTTP request. This makes them a powerful tool for integrating and extending the functionality of your applications with other services and systems.
Why Use Webhooks?
Webhooks offer a real-time, efficient, and developer-friendly way to connect your applications with external services. Unlike traditional APIs that require polling for data regularly, webhooks provide data as it happens, significantly reducing latency and overhead. This real-time data transfer makes webhooks ideal for enhancing application interactivity, automating workflows, and integrating disparate systems seamlessly.
Incoming Webhooks
Tadabase's incoming webhooks allow seamless data integration from various sources directly into your application. This feature enables the creation of new records, updating of existing ones, and even batch record creation based on incoming data. Real-time dashboards provide a comprehensive view of all webhook activities, including resubmission options for failed jobs and failure notifications.
Outgoing Webhooks
Extend the capabilities of your application with outgoing webhooks. Trigger actions like sending data to external services whenever records are added, updated, or deleted within your application. Detailed logs help monitor the webhook activities, ensuring you stay informed about any failures and maintain robust data flows.
Key Features
- Real-time Data Processing: Both incoming and outgoing webhooks process data in real time, enhancing the responsiveness of your application.
- Comprehensive Logging and Reporting: Track all activities and troubleshoot with built-in reporting tools.
