Integrating Acunetix 360 with Webhooks
Acunetix 360 allows you to integrate with many issue tracking systems. However, there are some applications for which Acunetix 360 does not currently offer integration. Instead, Acunetix 360 offers webhook integration for applications that support incoming webhooks. Webhooks are not applications, but they provide a way for an application to get data from other applications with real-time information.
