Module: controllers/webhookController

Webhook Controller for Satoshi Showdown. This controller is specifically designed to manage the processing of incoming webhook callbacks. It acts as the entry point for webhook data sent to the application, extracting necessary information from the incoming requests and delegating the processing logic to the Webhook Service. This controller ensures that webhook callbacks are parsed accurately and handled efficiently, with appropriate responses sent back to the source of the webhook. It plays a crucial role in handling asynchronous events and notifications that the application receives from external systems or services.
