Stay in sync with native or virtualized webhooks

Real-time synchronization without the overhead of constant pollingGet notified instantly when data changes

Push vs Pull Stop wasting resources

Get instant updates with webhooks instead of burning through API calls. Save costs, reduce latency, and never miss a beat with event-driven notifications.

Polling (Pull)

Your application repeatedly asks "Is there new data?" at regular intervals, regardless of whether anything has changed.

Constant API calls even when no changes occur
Delayed notifications (depends on polling frequency)
Higher resource consumption and costs
Risk of hitting rate limits

Best for: Infrequent updates or when real-time data isn't critical

Webhooks (Push)

The platform notifies your application immediately when data changes. No waiting, no guessing, no wasted requests.

Instant notifications when changes occur
Minimal resource usage - only when needed
Real-time data synchronization
Scales efficiently with your application

Best for: Real-time applications and efficient resource utilization

Native and Virtual Webhooks

Get webhook events from every integration, whether they natively support webhooks or not.

Native Webhooks

Direct webhook events from platforms that natively support real-time notifications. These are the most efficient and immediate way to receive updates.

Instant real-time notifications
Direct from the platform
Minimal latency
Most efficient resource usage

Virtual Webhooks

Our proprietary polling engine monitors APIs that don't support native webhooks and converts changes into unified webhook events.

Monitors List endpoints
Date & checksum-based change detection
Regular interval monitoring
No polling infrastructure needed

Zero data storage: We monitor changes without storing your data, prioritizing sustainability and your privacy.

Unified experience

Whether native or virtual, all webhook events are delivered in the same unified format. You get consistent, reliable notifications regardless of the underlying platform capabilities.

Same format
Consistent delivery
Reliable notifications

No more guessing. We log every request, response and webhook across your integrations so you know exactly what's happening and where.
