When a subscribed event occurs (e.g., a message posted in Webex Teams, or a Meraki device going offline), the platform sends an HTTP POST request to the pre-configured callback URL.

Explanation

Webhooks are event-driven HTTP callbacks. When a subscribed event occurs (e.g., a message posted in Webex Teams, or a Meraki device going offline), the platform sends an HTTP POST request to the pre-configured callback URL. POST is used because the notification payload (event data in JSON) must be included in the request body, which GET and HEAD do not support. PUT is used for full resource updates, not for event notifications. Both Cisco Meraki and Webex Teams webhooks follow this industry-standard POST pattern.
