Introduction to Webhooks
Webhooks allow your application to receive real-time updates by sending HTTP POST requests to your defined endpoints. They're perfect for integrating with external services.
Ensure your server is prepared to handle incoming webhook requests.
Setting Up Webhooks

Configure Webhook
