# Webhooks

Webhooks enable real-time communication between Clearout and your application. When validation, enrichment, or prospecting events occur, Clearout automatically sends HTTP POST requests to your specified endpoint with detailed payload data.

With webhooks, you can:

* **Receive instant notifications** when email and phone validation results are ready
* **Automate workflows** by triggering actions in your CRM, marketing platform, or internal systems
* **Reduce polling** by eliminating the need for continuous API calls
* **Build reactive systems** that respond immediately to data quality events

Next section covers everything you need to set up, test, validate, and manage webhooks for your Clearout integration.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.clearout.io/developers/webhooks.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
