Ingram Micro offers webhooks as a method to notify your apps with real-time updates related to your purchase order:

  • Webhooks allow you to configure automatic notifications to your app when a new purchase order is created and pushes notifications as HTTP posts to your pre-defined destination 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:
