Webhook
A webhook is an automatic message your software sends to another system the moment something happens, like an appointment being booked.
A webhook is a way for one system to notify another in real time. Instead of constantly asking has anything changed, the system pushes a message the instant an event occurs. When an appointment is booked or a payment is taken, a webhook can tell your other tools right away.
Webhooks make automation feel instant. They are how you keep a CRM, a reminder service, or a custom dashboard in sync with your PIMS without manual work.
OpenVPM supports webhooks alongside its REST API, so you can react to events in your practice as they happen.
