@Limeload should we be using webhook here for our purposes?

@taka-2628 Yes, webhooks would allow us to receive real-time updates about users' financial data and automate processes based on changes in their bank accounts. As of now, we could do without webhooks and add it to our stretch goal. I'll let you take the call.
