Outgoing Webhook

An outgoing webhook is a way for a web application to send automated messages or information to another web application or third-party service. It allows the user to specify what data should be sent, when it should be sent, and how it should be formatted. Outgoing webhooks are typically used to trigger external events or perform specific actions in response to changes within a web application.

For example, a user can create a workflow that triggers when a new order is created on their website. They can set up an outgoing webhook to send the order details to a shipping provider or a customer relationship management (CRM) system, automating the process and reducing manual work.
