Webhook

/ˈwɛbhʊk/ noun

A webhook is a way for one computer program to automatically send a message or data to another program when a specific event happens.

“Webhook” copies the pattern of “web” plus “hook,” modeled after “callback hooks” in programming. It suggests that one service can “hook into” another over the web.
