Webhook

Webhook is an automated message a system sends to a specified URL when a defined event occurs, enabling near-real-time integration between tools.

Integrations

Why It Matters

In security reviews

Webhooks let security-review events, like a submitted questionnaire or granted access, trigger downstream automation without polling.

Workflow Context

Where it shows up

Connects trust-center and questionnaire events to external systems across the workflow.

Common Mistakes

What to avoid
  1. Treating webhook as a universal term with no workflow context.

    Use this as an editorial checkpoint when the term appears in a buyer review, internal workflow, or vendor evaluation.
