# Webhooks

Webhooks are crucial for a successful integration with Switch VTN, and the only way you'll receive automatic updates about changes that are happening within the Switch VTN.

In case your organization decides to not use webhooks, your only option would be to pull the information directly from the Switch VTN API (e.g. pull information related to conditional agreements such as limit requests).

The structure and the types used are defined under the subscriptions endpoint of the VTN API [reference](/openadr-3/api-reference/test/subscriptions.md).
