A webhook payload is the JSON body sent with a webhook request describing the event: which repository, branch, commit SHA, and actor triggered it.
The payload is what makes a webhook actionable. Your receiver parses it to decide whether to build, which ref to check out, and who to notify.
In CI
A GitHub push payload includes ref, after (the new SHA), and pusher. CI receivers read ref to skip builds for branches you do not care about, saving runner minutes.
