Webhooks

Webhooks are automated notifications that are generated and sent to you when specific system events occur. By using the Webhooks REST API, you can subscribe to these notifications for events of your choice and designate a URL in your system to receive them. This is helpful for events that are not a part of an API request and response, or that are not available through the Reporting API. For example, you can receive webhook notifications when these events occur:

You can also use these notifications to configure your system to respond to the events in any way you choose.
