The name webhook is a simple combination of web, referring to its HTTP-based communication, and the hooking programming function that allows apps to intercept calls or other events that might be of interest.

A webhook is an HTTP-based callback function that allows lightweight, event-driven communication between 2 application programming interfaces (APIs). Webhooks are used by a wide variety of web apps to receive small amounts of data from other apps.

In other words, a “webhook” is like a signal that one website sends to another when something happens. It’s a way for websites to communicate with each other in real-time. Imagine you have two apps that need to share information - when something changes in one app, it can immediately inform the other app about the change using a webhook.

RSS Ground has several native integrations with such automation platforms as Zapier, IFTTT, Pabbly Connect. You can set up a workflow there using RSS Ground app as a trigger or as an action.

With the webhooks option you can connect RSS Ground to any other platform, app, website or API that supports webhooks.
