# What are webhooks and when should I use them?

## Get notified the moment activity happens — no polling required.

A webhook lets AwareGO notify **your** system the moment something happens — instead of you repeatedly asking our API whether anything changed.

When you register a webhook, you give us an HTTPS URL. Whenever an event you've subscribed to occurs, AwareGO sends an HTTP `POST` request to that URL describing what happened.

Typical uses:

- Sync activity into your own systems (LMS, HR tools, data warehouse).
- Trigger your own follow-up actions when something is completed.
- Keep dashboards up to date in near real time.

You'll need a publicly reachable HTTPS endpoint that accepts a `POST` request and responds quickly with a success status.
