Webhooks

Webhooks are an incredibly useful and efficient way to implement event observability and integration between systems.

In essence, Webhooks provide a communication mechanism where a server-side application can notify a third-party server-side application when a new event that the consumer application might be interested in, has occurred on the system.

Webhooks operate on the concept of β€œevent reaction” (don’t call me, I’ll call you if I have something new), and thus avoid the need for constant polling of the server-side application. Thus, rather than doing your consumer application constantly polling the server-side application to check for new events, the server-side application calls your application by invoking a client-provided webhook URL via HTTP protocol anytime the server-side has something new to report.

A clear and well-defined use case would be precisely a WhatsApp conversation, where you don’t know when a user will send you a message, yet you need to process that message right after is received and possibly reply to the user with another message. This can be achieved in an efficient and simple way by using Webhooks between your software and Wassenger. Webhooks are the foundation for creating automated conversations such as chatbots.

Webhooks can operate with any software no matter the language you use, as the common protocol would be HTTP(S) for communication and JSON format for data serialization.
