Webhook

An address a system calls to send data the moment something happens.

A webhook is a URL that receives an HTTP request, usually JSON, when something happens elsewhere. It is how systems push events to each other without polling.

Every xMap Flows flow can start from its own webhook: the JSON becomes the items, and the answer returns the results. Flows can also call webhooks of other systems.
