Do you have any favorite / interesting webhook use cases?


Payment notifications and ecommerce store order / shipping notifications feel like obvious use cases and I am curious if anyone has any webhooks they have found particularly interesting? Or exceptionally useful?

You can use webhooks to post notifications from external applications (eg: a batch process running from your commandline or a pipeline which finished running) to a shared chat space:
