Two phone illustrations side-by-side. The left one is pink and represents polling. The right one is green and represents webhooks. On the left under polling, the user has to ask for data each time. This is represented by the user chatting to someone and then getting a response back with data. On the right under webhooks, the user never has to ask for data and just gets it. This is represented by the user never appearing in the chat.
