Webhook or API? It depends. Here’s how to decide.
You’re building something. You need to get or share data. Do you make an API call, or set up a webhook? We just dropped a new walkthrough that explains how both work, and when to use each.

New to APIs or webhooks?
APIs are when your app asks for info.
Webhooks are when your app gets told something happened.
It’s like calling the airline vs. getting a text about your flight.
Try this: After watching the demo, tell us one thing you’re still unsure about. We’ll help clarify.
Have some experience?
You’ve made API calls and maybe worked with a webhook before.
Now you’re deciding what fits best in your current project.
Try this: Share a time when a webhook or api helped you work more efficiently. Or when you wished you had used one.
Advanced builder?
You’re thinking about how to structure real-time and request-based flows.
Maybe you’re already validating webhook signatures and working with complex systems.
Try this: What’s your favorite way to secure webhooks? Drop a setup tip or best practice for others to learn from.
