Description

We'll need to create an apphook to support webhook-based triggers for Square.

Because webhook subscriptions are owned by the application and not any one seller, you cannot use OAuth access tokens with the Webhook Subscriptions API. You must use the application's personal access token.

Research direction
The issue requires creating an apphook for Square webhook triggers. Reference the Square Webhook Subscriptions API documentation linked in the issue. Note that webhook subscriptions are owned by the application and require a personal access token (not OAuth). Examine existing Pipedream components for similar webhook integrations (e.g., Stripe, GitHub) to understand the pattern for implementing apphooks. No additional comments or PRs are available.
