Webhook Notifications


Subscribe Pro publishes webhooks that enable your application to be notified of key events affecting your subscribers (for example a customer cancels their subscription).

What are Webhooks?

In short, Webhooks are a way for Subscribe Pro to send you notifications via the web when key events happen.

According to Wikipedia

Webhooks are "user-defined HTTP callbacks".[2] They are usually triggered by some event, such as pushing code to a repository[3] or a comment being posted to a blog.[4] When that event occurs, the source site makes an HTTP request to the URL configured for the webhook. Users can configure them to cause events on one site to invoke behavior on another.
