Webhook

A way for one system to automatically notify another system when something happens, by sending an HTTP request to a pre-configured URL.

Think of it like

Like a doorbell instead of having to knock every five minutes to check if someone's home — the other system rings you the moment something happens.

Junior or senior?

Junior sounds like

Has only handled the happy-path webhook payload.

Senior sounds like

Has handled a webhook that arrived twice, or didn't arrive at all.

Ask them

“How did you handle a webhook that arrived twice, or didn't arrive at all?”
