A webhook is a method of communication between two applications, where one application sends data to another application. The receiving application, or listener, is programmed to respond to these events. Webhooks are commonly used to automate processes and improve efficiency.
Cradle CMS has support for both plugins (integrations using API endpoints) and webhooks.
Creating a connection to Zapier
Zapier can recieve information through webhooks and as Zapier is connected to thousands of services this gives tonnes of possibilities. A great example of a usecase is to use a form submission and connect it with a service like Maichimp. The data we send in the webhook can be used to populate data for a subscriper in Mailchimp. When it is set up each time there is a signup on a form on the webpage it is automatically added in a list in Mailchimp.
