What Is a Webhook?
A webhook is a way for one tool to notify another when something happens - enabling your AI agent to respond to events in real time.
A webhook is a mechanism that allows one application to send real-time data to another when a specific event occurs. Instead of your AI agent constantly checking for new emails (polling), webhooks push notifications instantly - "a new email arrived," "a form was submitted," "a payment was received." This makes your agent faster and more efficient.
Instant Notifications
Webhooks push data the moment something happens - no delays, no periodic checking.
Event-Driven
Your agent reacts to events as they occur: new email, form submission, payment confirmation, calendar change.
Setup During Configuration
We configure webhooks during your agent setup. You don't need to understand the technical details.
One-Way Push
Webhooks send data in one direction - from the source tool to your agent. The agent then decides what action to take.
Secure Delivery
Webhooks use HTTPS and can include authentication signatures to verify the data is genuine.
Common Triggers
Form submissions, payment events, email arrivals, calendar changes, CRM updates - all can trigger webhooks.
FAQ
Do I need to set up webhooks myself?
No. Webhook configuration is handled during your agent setup. We configure the connections between your tools and the agent.
What's the difference between a webhook and an API?
An API is a door that your agent opens to access a tool. A webhook is a doorbell - the tool rings it to notify your agent that something happened.
What if a webhook fails?
Most webhook systems include retry logic. If a delivery fails, the source tool tries again. We configure monitoring to catch persistent failures.
