Webhooks in Make
A webhook is a way for one system to automatically send data to another system when a specific event happens, without the receiving system needing to ask for it.
APIs can feel abstract at first, but webhooks usually make things click because the concept is simple, they notify you when something happens.
Before webhooks, most tools relied on polling, where Make repeatedly asked another system, Is there anything new? This works, but it is slower, wasteful, and often more expensive because you spend operations checking for changes that do not exist.
How it works
Under the hood, a webhook is usually an HTTP request, most often a POST, with a JSON body containing the event data.
You do not need to be a developer to work with this in Make. A simple way to think about it is: the webhook URL is the mailbox, and the JSON payload is the letter inside.
Make receives the request, converts the payload into usable fields, and lets you map those fields into whatever comes next in your scenario.
