Webhooks

Webhook plugin is a perfect tool to optimize your store. The main purpose of the Webhook Plugin is to update events regularly and then continue to send a notification to the selected URL. It will save your resources and avoid pooling your API.

A webhook (also called a web callback or HTTP push API) is a way for GrandNode to provide other applications with real-time information. A webhook delivers data to other applications as it happens, meaning you get data immediately, for example in CRM, ERP, or any kind of third-party. Unlike typical APIs where you would need to poll for data very frequently in order to get it real-time. This makes webhooks much more efficient for both providers and consumers. With the Webhook plugin, you will be able to send a new order to your ERP system immediately, without the need to trigger the API once a minute, or once an hour.
