Webhooks - IEEE-Team-3/map GitHub Wiki

Webhooks allow the app to send real-time data to other services or applications. By enabling webhooks, the app can trigger external actions in response to key events, such as task updates, team changes, or new announcements.

• Custom Event Triggers: Users and admins can configure webhooks for specific events like task creation, completion, or team membership changes.
• Real-Time Data Push: As events occur, the system pushes data to external systems in real time.
• Multiple Destinations: Webhooks can be sent to various destinations, including third-party services like Slack, Discord, or custom APIs.

Admins can configure webhooks for key events. Each event will have a destination URL, and the payload will contain relevant data for the event.
