Webhook

Webhook is a function that sends information by HTTP request to a specified URL when the issue, comment, Wiki, file, Subversion or Git has been added or updated.

For example, Backlog can be integrated with other services and applications by notifying through a chat application that the issue has been updated, or by notifying to the build system when a push is made on Git.
