Webhooks

What is a Webhook?

A webhook is a way for an application to provide other applications with real-time information. It is essentially a user-defined HTTP callback: a URL that is triggered when specific events occur. This allows your applications to communicate seamlessly and react instantly to changes, such as booking events, cancellations, or rescheduling.

How Integration Helps

Integrating webhooks into your booking app offers several advantages:

Real-Time Alerts: Receive immediate notifications when significant events occur, such as when a meeting is booked, canceled, or rescheduled. This helps you stay updated without manual checks.

Automation: Automate workflows by triggering actions in other applications based on webhook events. For example, automatically update a calendar, notify team members, or initiate follow-up communications.

Enhanced User Experience: Provide a smoother experience for users by ensuring that all relevant systems are updated instantly, reducing the risk of double bookings or missed meetings.
