Webhooks
A webhook is a mechanism that triggers a HTTP POST invocation into the webhook's external URL, every time a specific event occurs.
A webhook can be installed on an organization or on a specific repository. Once installed, it will be triggered each time one or more subscribed events happen in that organization/repository.
Can be set via UI: Repository -> Settings -> Options: Webhooks.
