What is a webhook in a Git connection?

A webhook tells an application that an event occurred in another service. It replaces repeated manual checking with event-driven delivery.

How to apply it

Taskending’s GitHub connection configures a repository webhook. Signature verification and project mapping must be correct. When an event is missing, inspect provider delivery first, then repository and issue-key mapping.

A concrete example

Opening a PR causes GitHub to send an event. Taskending identifies the authorized connection, maps the key and records supported context. A network failure and an incorrect key affect different parts of that chain.

What to watch for

Knowing a webhook URL does not make a request trustworthy; signature checking matters. Keep webhook secrets out of articles, screenshots and issue descriptions. Be prepared for repeated delivery.

How to check the outcome

Match one provider event with its application result. Identify the failing stage instead of repeatedly pressing resend without understanding the cause.
