A webhook reciever is just an endpoint that accepts POST requests:

import json
from django.http import HttpResponse
from django.views.decorators.csrf import csrf_exempt
from django.views.decorators.http import require_POST

@csrf_exempt
@require_POST
def webhook_endpoint(request):
    jsondata = request.body
    data = json.loads(jsondata)
    for answer in data['form_response']['answers']: # go through all the answers {: id="go-through-all-the-answers" }
      type = answer['type']
      print(f'answer: {answer[type]}') # print value of answers {: id="print-value-of-answers" }

return HttpResponse(status=200)

or simply,
create a url:

path('/accept-hook', views.accept_webhook)

and collect POST data in the view:

def accept_webhook(request):
    return request.POST.get('desired_key')
