A Webhook (sometimes WebHook) is a callback over HTTP between systems, usually triggered by some event. When that event occurs the source site makes an HTTP request to the URI configured for the webhook. Users can configure them to cause events on one site to invoke behaviour on another. They are used for code hosting, to propagate changes, or to trigger builds with continuous integration systems.
