What Is a Webhook?
A webhook is an automatic message one app sends another when an event happens, like a booking, so tools can react in real time without you copying data by hand.
A webhook is an automatic notification one application sends to another the moment something happens, such as a new booking, a signed contract or a paid invoice. The receiving app can then react instantly, without anyone copying data between tools.
For a photographer, webhooks let your studio software tell another tool, like a spreadsheet or a team chat, about an event in real time, so information flows automatically instead of by hand.
Frequently asked questions
How is a webhook different from an API?
An API is something you query when you want data. A webhook pushes data to you automatically when an event happens, so you do not have to keep asking.
What can photographers use webhooks for?
Sending new bookings to a team chat, logging orders to a spreadsheet, or triggering another tool when a contract is signed, all without manual copying.
