# How Event Webhook Works

Event Webhook allows you to get the events like Delivery Reports, Read Reports, WhatsApp Number Filter Status, and New Contact Alert  directly into your application which saves your time in calling the corresponding report APIs

{% hint style="info" %}
When you are using WhatsApp Web Automation (Deprecated) as channel and suppose you have requested to check the 500 WhatsApp number status through WhatsApp Filter API and this process may take 2 to 15 minutes to complete depending on the message queue in your phone and how fast your phone can process the request.
{% endhint %}

Instead of calling the report API periodically,  you can setup an event webhook and get the details as soon as the delivery, read, failed event happens.
