Understanding webhooks will open up a world of possibilities for your projects and applications. Webhooks allow different web applications and services to communicate with each other.
We've released a webhooks course on the freeCodeCamp YouTube channel that will take you from being a complete beginner to being able to use webhooks in your own apps.
We've released a lot of courses on the freeCodeCamp.org YouTube channel and I can honestly say that this is one of the most well-made courses on the channel.
