Creating a Webhook subscription
What is a Webhook?
Webhooks are automated messages sent by Deel when something happens on our platform. They have an information-bearing payload and are sent to a unique URL. Webhooks are almost always faster than calling Deel API and require less work on your side.
For example, if you want to keep the contract information up to date between Deel and your platform, you will rely on calling Deel API every few hours to retrieve the latest state of contracts, also known as polling. Webhooks enable you to subscribe to a change event in Deel and be notified when the data is updated.
