Because webhooks use HTTP, no new infrastructure needs be added to existing web services.
Webhooks are useful where the action you want to perform in the external system can be achieved through its API.

ifndef::containerized[]
Where it is necessary to run additional commands or edit files, the shellhooks plugin for {SmartProxies} is available.
The shellhooks plugin enables you to define a shell script on the {SmartProxy} that can be executed through the API.

You can use webhooks successfully without installing the shellhooks plugin.

On a side note, why is this hidden for orcharhino? Doesn't orcharhino still run on selinux-enabled el*?

I hid this in the past because in orcharhino downstream, we use a different installation guide -> I could not get the link to work. Thanks for the hint, I will look into this eventually. For now, it could stay as is.

When configuring webhooks with endpoints with non-standard HTTP or HTTPS ports, an SELinux port must be assigned, see {InstallingServerDocURL}configuring-selinux-to-ensure-access-on-custom-ports_{project-context}[Configuring SELinux to ensure access to {Project} on custom ports] in _{InstallingServerDocTitle}_.
