Webhook communications
Webhook is a mechanism used to notify external SaaS services or partner systems on the outcome of asynchronous actions, completed at a later time and not directly in response to a previous/synchronous request.
Effective implementation is a mixture of an:
-
Application user interfaces to register the consumer’s interest to consume a webhook.
-
Asynchronous communication implementation to capture events.
-
Synchronous communication implementation to post the webhook update.
With Neptune DXP able to provide all three modes of operation, you can implement webhooks to provide a modern update mechanism to external parties.
