Sending outbound webhooks from an automation allows you to send a real-time notification with event data from Brevo to an external app when a contact reaches the Call a webhook step.
This article explains how to send outbound webhooks from an automation. You can also create outbound webhooks directly from Brevo or from the API.
Before you start
From your external app, make sure to retrieve the URL of the server or endpoint you want to send the outbound webhook to. If you're unsure where to retrieve it, check your external app’s help center or contact their support team.

to. This tells Brevo where to send the outbound webhook when an event
happens.
