Webhook - CI/CD Glossary Definition
A webhook is an HTTP POST a system (like GitHub) sends to a URL when an event occurs, so a CI service can react instantly instead of polling.
In CI
GitHub delivers push and pull_request webhooks to start workflows; a missed or failing delivery is a common cause of "my build never ran".
