  [Webhook​Subscription](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/WebhookSubscription)

  A webhook subscription is a persisted data object created by an app using the REST Admin API or GraphQL Admin API. It describes the topic that the app wants to receive, and a destination where Shopify should send webhooks of the specified topic. When an event for a given topic occurs, the webhook subscription sends a relevant payload to the destination. Learn more about the [webhooks system](https://shopify.dev/apps/webhooks).
