Webhook
A webhook is an HTTP callback: when an event happens, one system sends a real-time POST request with a payload to a URL you provide.
In monitoring, webhooks deliver alert events to any endpoint, your own backend, a chat tool, or an automation platform, so you can route, transform, or act on incidents however you need. They are the universal glue for integrations.
