What are Webhooks?#
Webhooks are automated messages sent from one application to another when an event occurs.

This makes webhooks an efficient and timely way to keep your systems in sync.Key Benefits of Webhooks:Real-Time Notifications: Receive instant updates about important events such as new user registrations, subscription changes, or server status updates.
Automation: Automate workflows by triggering actions in your systems based on the events received from Hexallion.
