HOW TO ADD WEBHOOK IN BITBUCKET?

WHAT IS WEBHOOK?

There are many cases where an event happening in one system need to be informed to another system to trigger some related events/actions in the second system. Webhook is a web callback or HTTP push API, which will provide information and data about an event to other applications.

For example: Whenever new code gets committed (event) to a code repository (first system), you may want to setup a Webhookin the repository to run and alert the build and deployment tool (second system) to redeploy the application.

Webhooks help in application integrations. Apps can subscribe to certain events in other systems and will get informed when such events happen in the subscribed system. In the above example, Build and Deployment Tool has subscribed for code commit events in the Code Repository System using Webhook.
