webhook
A webhook is an automated message sent from one app to another when something happens. Instead of repeatedly asking 'Did anything happen yet?', a webhook simply pushes the data immediately when an event occurs, like a new customer signing up.
api
API stands for Application Programming Interface. It is a set of rules that allows one piece of software application to talk to another. It determines how requests are formatted, sent, and how data is returned.
json
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight format for storing and transporting data. When your CRM sends data to your Email Marketing tool, it packages that data—like names, emails, and dates—into a structured JSON 'payload' so the receiving software knows how to read it.
oauth
OAuth is an open-standard authorization protocol or framework that describes how unrelated servers and services can safely allow authenticated access to their assets without actually sharing the initial, related, single logon credential.
rest api
REST (Representational State Transfer) is a software architectural style that was created to guide the design and development of the architecture for the World Wide Web. A REST API is simply an API that follows these standardized rules, primarily using URLs and standard HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) to manage data.
