+# Countly Hooks Plugin
+
+The Hooks plugin provides powerful automation for integrating Countly data with external systems. This plugin can trigger external HTTP endpoints based on internal events and incoming data, and send automated email notifications for events like user profile updates or users entering a cohort. Hooks offers a new way to feed external systems with Countly data, enabling real-time interactions and automating workflows.
