Webhook for Magento 2

Magento stores have a variety of minor tasks and system procedures that require upgrades. Webhooks automate operations and send vital messages to your shop. It can update various events happening in your store.

Webhooks are often used to link two separate apps. When an event occurs on the trigger application, it generates the data and sends it to a webhook URL in the action application-the one that you want to do something with the data from the first application.

Magento 2 API give you information only when you make a query. You need to send requests to obtain the data you want, and this process can use more resources than necessary. With frequent queries, the system can get tired. APIs can be suitable for tasks that don't require constant updates, but they are not very efficient for continuous data exchanges. This is where Magento 2 webhooks come into play. Unlike APIs, webhooks don't need you to make a query. Instead, they inform you when something changes proactively. For constant data exchanges, Magento webhook integration can be more efficient.

Here's how a webhook works:
- An event happens in a connected app or website.
- The webhook detects the event.
- It collects data related to the event.
The data is sent to the specified URL.

To prevent this issue, you can take a look at Magento 2 SMTP, which can meet your expectations.

There are 2 important parts you need to know for creating a secure webhook: Events and Observers.
- Events: In Magento 2, events are moments when something important happens, like when a new order is placed, a customer account is created, or a product is updated.
- Observers: If you want to respond to specific events, you can create PHP classes called observers. These observers run their code whenever the event they're watching is triggered.
