Good to know:

Webhook providers enable you to create scenarios with preset formats and data structures. Because each server has a predefined structure to send and/or receive data, you can build the scenario and let it run in the background. While the data structure and format are identical for every notification, the content is dynamically updated according to the event being sent.
