A webhook is a custom callback over HTTP used to setup communication between applications. They provide a way to automatically notify other applications when an event has occurred in your application in the form of an HTTP post payload. This eliminates the need to poll your application to check for new events – the application will alert you when there's something new! Webhooks in FlexDeploy can be used to trigger actions in FlexDeploy based on events happening in other applications, thus eliminating some manual actions. For example, you can setup a webhook to build a project immediately after a push occurs in your SCM. This is just one example, and FlexDeploy's model offers flexibility in what you can accomplish with webhooks.
