What is a use case for the Cisco Meraki webhook API?

While Meraki provides location analytics, webhooks are primarily for event notifications, not for actively creating or deriving analytics information from Wi-Fi and BLE devices.

Meraki webhooks enable real-time notifications about network events or configuration changes, allowing external applications to react immediately to updates without continuous polling. For example, a webhook can notify an external system when a network device goes offline or when a configuration is altered.

Meraki Dashboard APIs are used to apply network device configurations and client profiles, whereas webhooks are for receiving notifications, not for sending configuration commands.

Creating a device inventory for auditing security compliance typically involves querying the Meraki API using GET requests, not receiving event-driven notifications via webhooks.
