# 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).
