Webhooks for Menuraq API

What Webhooks Are and How They Work

Webhooks in Menuraq are automatic notifications sent from your restaurant system to other applications when specific events happen. Think of them as text message alerts that tell other services what's happening with your business without needing constant polling.

How They Work:

• Your system detects an event (like a new order)
• It automatically sends a notification to a pre-configured URL
• The receiving application processes the information
• Everything stays synchronized
