Webhooks
What are webhooks?
Webhooks allow applications to react to state changes in a platform in real time. When an event occurs, a webhook will send a payload to the application corresponding to the target endpoint.
A webhook can be setup to be notified of all event types or specific ones, such as a transfer being returned or a customer updating their address. This allows your application to react to different events in Moov’s platform, which is more efficient than polling an API to determine if an event has occurred.
You can use webhooks in a variety of ways:
- Integrate with existing software systems
- Send notifications
- Collect data for record-keeping and reconciliation
With webhooks, you can build systems that react to events as they happen. They are built to be flexible and can be configured to fit your needs in the long-term. Use the guides in this section to learn what webhooks are available and how to set them up.
