Webhooks

Broad Reach allows you to subscribe to webhooks to receive real-time updates for long-running asynchronous operations. This is useful because it allows your application to move on to other work while the operation is running rather than being blocked until it completes.

It also allows Broad Reach to push updates to your application rather than having your application continually poll for updates. For example, you may subscribe to the track webhook event to automatically receive an update anytime a tracking event occurs. Rather than continually sending a request to the track endpoint to see if the tracking information has been updated since the last time you checked, you can subscribe to the track webhook event and Broad Reach will push the notification to your application via a webhook whenever the tracking details are updated.
