Having Webhooks in MifosX would open up a number of integration opportunities for us, some obvious scenarios we can think of right now would be
a) SMS integration b) Credit Bureau Checks c) Integration with Credit scoring tools like inventure
The functionality would be pretty much identical to how Webhooks work in Github
The payload sent with each request should also be configurable with an integration with the existing https://demo.openmf.org/api-docs/apiLive.htm#templates functionality
Also maintaining these some of these projects outside the main MifosX codebase (Multi vendor SMS integration package, Generic Credit Beureau Integration package) would give us an opportunity to effectively collaborate with other open source organization working in the same domain.
Another advantage would be the ability to have small volunteer teams maintain each of these individual projects, scaling up on the same becomes easy given the limited scope etc...
