Using any kind of webhook involves deploying a listener for that hook, and then triggering, from your listener server host, the action.

You can take a shortcut now (oct. 2018) with GitHub Actions (Oct. 2018).

GitHub Actions allows you to connect and share containers to run your software development workflow. Easily build, package, release, update, and deploy your project in any language—on GitHub or any external system—without having to run code yourself.
