What is one of the main advantages of using webhooks in Salesforce Commerce Cloud?

Using webhooks in Salesforce Commerce Cloud enables the system to trigger predefined events automatically based on specific actions or changes in the application or external services. This automatic triggering mechanism is particularly beneficial because it reduces the need for manual intervention, streamlining communication and data exchange between systems.

For instance, when an event occurs—such as a new order being placed or an inventory update—webhooks can be configured to automatically notify other systems or applications in real-time. This enhances efficiency and ensures that relevant processes are invoked promptly, allowing for faster responses and updates within the Salesforce Commerce Cloud environment.

The nature of webhooks means they are event-driven and work effectively without requiring continuous monitoring or user input for data changes, which makes them a powerful tool for system integration and automated workflows.
