A webhook (also called a web callback or HTTP push API) is 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.
Unlike typical APIs, where you would need to poll for data very frequently in order to get it in real time.
This makes webhooks much more efficient for both the provider and the consumer.
Where to Find Webhooks in OfficeRnD

Setting up Webhooks
When you choose to add an endpoint you'll be able to specify the following:
Endpoint URL - the endpoint of your server where HTTP POST requests will be made.
Description - an optional description allowing you to describe the purpose of the webhook.
Events to send - the list of events for which requests will be made to the endpoint.
