Description

I'm considering using a headless Electrum to accept Bitcoin payments on my website. I was wondering if there is any existing system to notify an external process that a payment was received? Otherwise, that would be a feature request. bitcoind implements something like this with the -walletnotify=<cmd> configuration option.

Research direction

Start by checking whether headless Electrum already exposes a notification mechanism for received payments, and compare its behavior with bitcoind's -walletnotify option. Done means the supported approach or the required feature is clearly defined for notifying an external process.
