What is Webhook and how can you use it in Xobin?
What is a Webhook?
A webhook is a method of enabling real-time communication between applications by automatically sending data updates whenever a specific event occurs. Unlike APIs, which require manual requests to fetch data, webhooks work asynchronously by pushing data to a specified URL the moment an event is triggered — making them a powerful tool for integrating platforms and automating workflows.
How Webhooks Work in Xobin
In Xobin, webhooks instantly notify you when a candidate completes an assessment, along with their assessment report details. By setting up a webhook URL, you can achieve real-time data synchronization between Xobin and your preferred tools, ensuring seamless workflow integration.
Configuring webhooks in Global Assessment Settings ensures they are automatically applied to all future assessments in a single step.
