Launch URL WITHOUT a window (Webhooks)

Question

I am using a webhook to trigger a Pipeline, and I don't want it to start a new window. I just want it to send its payload and not get in the user's way. How do I "launch" a URL and not have it show up anywhere?

You can make a URL formula button to edit the record toggle a checkbox opposite to what it is, and then display the record.

ie an EDIT does not have to be on a form with a "save button", it can be edited by a button in view mode.

If you're using the webhooks tool in the table settings, it won't launch a window when it sends the webhook, it just sends to whatever endpoint you have designated. This action is invisible to the form user.

Is there a way to do it with a button, or is it just a checkbox that is on when the record is saved?

If it requires the record to be saved to get the webhook to fire, I can just trigger the pipeline based on the record being updated.
