# What is a webhook? How to configure webhook notifications?

**What is a Webhook?**

A webhook is a method of enabling real-time communication between applications by automatically sending data updates whenever a specific event occurs. Unlike APIs, which require manual requests to fetch data, webhooks work asynchronously by pushing data to a specified URL the moment an event is triggered — making them a powerful tool for integrating platforms and automating workflows.

**How Webhooks Work in Xobin**

In Xobin, webhooks instantly notify you when a candidate completes an assessment, along with their assessment report details. By setting up a webhook URL, you can achieve real-time data synchronization between Xobin and your preferred tools, ensuring seamless workflow integration.
Configuring webhooks in Global Assessment Settings ensures they are automatically applied to all future assessments in a single step.

**Setting Up a Webhook**

1. **Log In to Your Account**
* Go to [https://app.xobin.com/signin](https://app.xobin.com/signin)

2. **Navigate to the Settings Tab**
