Understanding Webhooks
A webhook is a way for Fermion to send real-time notifications to an external system when something happens in your courses, labs, live events, or digital products. Unlike APIs where your system must poll for updates, webhooks push data automatically to a URL you specify.Think of it like Fermion “knocking on your server’s door” whenever an important event occurs.
This allows your system to respond immediately without constantly checking for changes.

- Marketing Automation – Trigger marketing workflows based on user activity.
- Student Experience – Provide third-party solutions to students automatically.
