Overview
When enmacc customers engage with the platform, specific events like new tender requests received, new quotes received, or traded deals trigger the execution of a defined HTTPs callback (secure webhook). This allows an easy integration of enmacc events in your application. Those callbacks can be used to invoke custom behaviours in your application. Subsequently your application is able to query required information about the event via the easy to access enmacc REST API. The event callback itself doesn't contain confidential information because of security reasons (so called skinny payload). Now your application is capable to process enmacc data.
