They provide an efficient way to receive instant updates, allowing your application to react dynamically to user actions and provide a more personalized experience. #### What is a webhook? A webhook is an automated message that claimr sends to your application whenever a specific event occurs in your campaigns. Instead of your application constantly checking for new information (a process called "polling"), claimr proactively notifies you when something important happens, such as a user completing a task or claiming a reward. Webhooks in claimr have an organization-wide scope. This means that any user activity within your entire organization, across all associated campaigns, will trigger a notification to your registered endpoint. #### What is an endpoint? To receive these webhook messages, you need to set up a dedicated URL on your server, called an endpoint. This endpoint acts as the receiving address where claimr can deliver these real-time updates. It's important to ensure that your endpoint is properly configured to receive and process incoming data. #### Why use webhooks? Webhooks offer several advantages over traditional polling methods: * **Real-time updates**: Get instant notifications about important events, enabling your application to react quickly and provide timely feedback to users. * **Efficient data handling**: Receive only the data you need, when you need it, reducing unnecessary data transfer and processing. * **Reduced polling**: Eliminate the need for your application to continuously check for updates, saving resources and improving performance.
