Many integrations rely on scheduled syncs, which can introduce delays, consume excess API calls, and fail to support real-time operations. For time-sensitive use cases, polling is an inadequate solution.
In this Builder’s Hub article on webhook flows, we explore how to build real-time integrations using webhooks. Using a flow that tracks form fills in HubSpot and alerts a shared sales channel in Slack, we go over setting up endpoints, configuring authentication, and managing payloads—so you can push data instantly from external systems without polling or delays.
