Plain-English definition
webhook
What it means
A webhook is an automatic message one app sends to another the instant something happens, so your app finds out right away without constantly asking. It's used for things like getting told the moment a payment clears.
In plain terms
Like a doorbell: instead of you walking to the window every minute to check for visitors, it rings you the second someone actually arrives.
