Real-time webhooks

With real-time webhooks, web applications can communicate with each other. Real-time data is sent from one application to another when an event occurs.

Authentication
Webhooks offers the following authentication mechanisms.
HTTP Status
By default, a configured webhook endpoint is expected to respond with an HTTP status code that is within the 2XX range of HTTP responses.
High availability
When you deploy webhooks, high availability is a key consideration. If a webhook is unavailable, it can result in user flow failures.
Monitoring webhooks
When webhooks are configured, they often make up a core part of the user flows. Webhook failures are not meaningful to a user, so webhook failures are recorded, but not returned to the user when they occur. To view webhook failures, the webhooks stats APIs must be retrieved.
