Knowing When to Use Webhooks

Webhooks are a simplified model of communication thus, you should use webhooks when you require the following:
  • Real-time one-way communication (from source to destination)
  • A non-persistent connection between the two systems' communication
  • Immediate response to an event from a SaaS application that supports webhooks
  • Use of the push model to immediately push updates
  • One-to-one communication
Manage exceptions: You need to manage any exception that will occur, such as shipments falling outside of regulated temperature ranges.
