Basics of Webhooks

What are webhooks?

Webhooks are automated messages sent from one application to another when specific events occur. Unlike traditional APIs, where your application has to actively poll for data, webhooks operate on a "push" principle: once a relevant event occurs, the data is automatically sent to your predefined endpoint.

Difference between webhooks and APIs

While APIs work on a request-response model and require regular polling, webhooks are event-driven. This makes them particularly efficient for real-time notifications and reduces unnecessary traffic.

Typical use cases
  • Real-time notifications: Instant information about new calls

  • Data integration: Automatic transfer of call data into CRM systems

  • Automated workflows: Triggering actions based on call content or result

Create a webhook with your existing CRM

Almost all major CRM platforms support webhooks. They automatically provide a secure endpoint that can receive data from Safina. You just need to copy the appropriate URL and authentication information and enter them in Safina.

As the creation of webhooks works a bit differently in each of these tools, we have linked the guides of some market leaders for you here.
