Ingram Micro offers webhooks as a method to send notifications to Resellers and Vendors when new information is available for their consumption:

  • Webhooks allow you to configure automatic notifications to your app/internal system when there is a change in order status or a new purchase order has been generated for the Vendors and pushes notifications as HTTP posts to your pre-defined callback URL.
  • Webhooks are simpler than API solutions — there is no need for your app to send traditional API requests to obtain information.

This diagram illustrates the basic difference between Ingram Micro APIs and webhooks:
