Using webhooks

A webhook, also called web callback or HTTP push API, is a way for an application to provide other applications with near real-time information.

You can configure the Secure Edge Portal to use a webhook to send alert notifications to your application. The Secure Edge Portal sends an HTTP POST request to the webhook’s configured URL when an alert is triggered. This eliminates the need for your application to poll the Secure Edge Portal for data frequently.
