Webhook Integration Guides

Webhooks enable real-time event-driven communication between applications, making integrations more efficient and responsive.

In Novu, webhooks trigger notification workflows whenever specific events occur in external applications. This ensures notifications are delivered exactly when they’re needed, keeping users informed without delay.

For example, when a user signs up via Clerk or completes a payment through Stripe, a webhook delivers the event payload to Novu, which then processes it and triggers the appropriate workflow.

This allows for real-time notifications—whether it’s a welcome email, payment confirmation SMS, or in-app alert—without the need for constant polling, ensuring efficiency and a seamless user experience.
