Full definition of webhook
Webhooks invert the usual API model. Instead of you calling an API to ask 'has anything changed?', the API calls you when something does. Most modern apps (Stripe, Shopify, GitHub, Calendly, Typeform) expose webhooks so platforms like Tiny Command can build real-time triggers. Tiny Command auto-registers webhooks with the third-party app when you set up a trigger — you don't have to manage URLs or secrets manually.
In practice
Webhook examples

FAQ
Common questions about webhook
Are webhooks secure?
Yes — most apps sign webhook payloads with HMAC so receivers can verify authenticity. Tiny Command validates every signature automatically.
What if a webhook fails to deliver?
Reputable apps retry failed webhook deliveries with exponential backoff. Tiny Command's webhook endpoints are highly available (multi-region).
