Webhook Events

The Webhook Events preference is used to record a list of webhook events in the system. These are more complex than other customisable areas of iGene, so it is recommended that you contact support to set up these areas.

A webhook event is a notification that is sent from one application to another when a specific event occurs. It’s a way for systems to automatically push data or updates in real time rather than having another system poll or repeatedly ask for updates. Webhooks are often used in web applications to notify external systems about changes or activities in real time.
