A practical example
Example: when a deal moves to a closed-won stage in your CRM, the CRM sends a webhook that triggers an onboarding workflow within seconds, with no scheduled sync needed.
What to evaluate before investing
- Ask how failed deliveries are retried and for how long before an event is dropped
- Test whether you can inspect payload history and replay a missed event manually
- Compare rate limits and ordering guarantees when many events fire at once
Limitations and tradeoffs
Webhooks are fire-and-forget by default; without retries, logging, and replay tooling, a temporary outage on either side silently loses events.
