Webhook

An automated message one system sends to another when a specific, predefined event occurs — a digital notification without a human manually sending it.

A webhook is an automated message that one system sends to another system when a specific, predefined event occurs. TradingView alerts can fire a webhook automatically when a chart condition (like a price crossing a level) is met — the webhook itself only delivers the message; what happens next depends entirely on the receiving system’s configuration.
