- #Webhooks are talked about a lot in Headless Architectures but what are they? If you are a technologist and have been working with Mach technology, you will no doubt know about webhooks, but not everyone e has had that experience and I know there are many of you about there quietly nodding wondering what the hell are we techies talking about.
Webhooks are fundamental to Mach architectures and #HeadlessEcommerce and when we built #Amplience we made webhooks a key feature of the CMS, it was a great decision that's helped us and customs do all kinds of cool integrations this video won't delve that deep into webhooks integrations but it should give you enough to participate in the conversation.
let me know what you think and if you would like me to go deeper in future videos

i was polling entire youtube to finally find this simple one. You need webhooks to tell us back.
The analogy at beginning was amazing. Thank you!
A complicated subject is explained in a very simple, concise yer in style, very well presented too. It is very comfortable watch too.
Thank you tech can be quite difficult to explain
A very good quality content. Simple and concise. Thank you!
thank you
I've been looking for a clear explanation of how WebHooks work and how they can be used, and this video delivered exactly that. The author did a great job of explaining the concept in a concise and easy-to-understand way. Many thanks!
beautifully explained, thank you
i appreciate the Maiden example
Brilliantly explained, good video quality, music, designed. You nailed it. Kudos! 👏
Nice video that simplifies the subject. Good analogies and I'm an Iron Maiden fan as well!
Amazing video! Thank you for making this
Great! I’m managing a IT team for the integration of Shopify with a billing SaaS through a middleware.
This has been great to a better understanding! Thanks!
Passed through about 7 videos and none of them explained what the heck was the problem Webhooks solve, you did. Your explanation is clear and calm, but not too much to allow me to distract. Thank you! ✨
Instead of me constantly asking, “is it done yet?”,
you tell me when it’s done.
i agree :)
very well explained, This is what I was looking for ..
Now this is a helpful and simple explanation!
Thank you for the information sir, on point.
Great explanation...👍
Really awesome explanation!
great explanation
Keep sharing such contents
I'll try keep them coming
very helpful video. Thanks!
Thankyou Glad it was helpful!
I feel so happy when I come searching for some boring stuff e and get IRON MAIDEN somehow!!!! UP THE IRONS!!!
Awesome video John
Thanks 👍 so glad you enjoyed it.
very well explanation
Thanks its can be difficult to think of ways to explain technology
thanks for this video! one suggestion is to lower the music volume as it is very distracting.
Love the Alexa ending :)
I cam up with the Alexa ending while walking the dog. It worked out fortunately
So instead of an external program requesting information at regular intervals, the web hook exists internally and upon a condition send that information to the external system for greater efficiency. Correct?
Great video
Thankyou glad you enjoyed it
Very nice video🤗
I really appreciate the feedback
Appreciate this (and your other videos) as I find them very informative. I did have a question here specifically though- this sounds awfully like Kafka events, does this mean Kafka is simply a type of Webhook?
They are somewhat different. Kafka is more analogous to publishing a newspaper (remember those?) or publishing a video to CZcams. The event content is pushed out (to CZcams or Kafka) and it can be consumed by other systems at some asynchronous future point in time (and the content may expire from the topic). Webhooks are more like a telephone system where the event generating system will "call" (send a message) to the subscribing system(s). It wasn't mentioned here but typically, the subscribing systems will call an API on the event-raising system providing the subscriber's API which the event publishing system should call (Basically, "when this event happens, please call me at this phone number"). It's up to the subscriber to always have this API available or (like phone voice mail), have a highly available message queue - which could be Kafka or similar. An email mailing list is also a good analogy - interested parties subscribe to an email newsletter (or whatever) and the event-originating system periodically sends out an email to all the subscribers on its list. It's up to the subscriber to receive the email. (Almost all email today is queued for subscriber retrieval on an IMAP or POP email server but this is not required. You could send and receive messages directly via the SMTP protocol without queuing.)
you are amazing, I liked it
Thanks you are very kind
God bless u
❤❤❤
Should we write our own webhook service or use the service from the webhook providers?
is there any possibility to remove ellipsis from PWA MicrosoftEdge?
great video! (dust your Alexa :D)
Is it not same as Kafka Where Application pushed the message
However Webhook is based in https is my understanding correct ?
how is the webhook different to an API?
An API is an interface you call call to cause an action or retrieve data, A webhook is triggered by an event in a system which then can call an API. An event could be caused by an API being called.
What is a webhook example?
You could create a webhook in our system that sends a piece of content to a search engine like algolia to be indexed when it's is published. Or have webhooks in a smart home app the switches on the heating when a theromastat reaches a temperature
The problem is, that webhooks are not reliable. If data consistency is critical, you have to write some mechanism for the guaranteed delivery and replicate information. But not webhooks based for sure.
