Introduction to webhooks

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.
