# Old Webhooks

A webhook is an HTTP-based callback function that allows lightweight, event-driven communication between 2 [application programming interfaces (APIs)](https://www.redhat.com/en/topics/api/what-are-application-programming-interfaces). Webhooks are used by a wide variety of web apps to receive small amounts of data from other apps, but webhooks can also be used to trigger automation workflows in [GitOps](https://www.redhat.com/en/topics/devops/what-is-gitops) environments.
