Correct answer: Webhooks only complete an action once the stated event occurs..
Why this is the answer
A webhook is event-driven, so the action happens only after a defined event occurs. In Amazon Ads integration design, this differs from a standard Amazon Ads API request, where an application directly calls an endpoint to retrieve or change data. Traditional API calls are request-based and happen when the application sends the request. Event-driven flows reduce repeated polling when the integration only needs to react to specific changes. This distinction helps control API usage and avoid unnecessary requests.
