# Web Hooks Webhooks allow interaction between web-based applications through the use of custom callbacks. Rapt Cloud allows users to create webhooks that automatically send device telemetry to a remote service. As soon as the telemetry is received by the Rapt Cloud, it checks to see if there is a webhook configured for the device and submits the data accordingly. Webhooks are the preferred method of sharing data with other web-based services. The other option is to poll the Rapt API for telemetry; however this is a less efficient method of extracting the data. If you would like more information on integrating with the Rapt API, see the [documentation](https://api.rapt.io). --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
