ofbiz callback functionality

Dear ofbiz list members,

to implement an ERP system into the infrastructure of a midsize company
I would like to use ofbiz but the following functionality is needed:

scenario:
A message is sent to ofbiz containing a query or an order. This query is
then accepted/rejected by a staff member. Now ofbiz has to send a message
containing this status change to an external system or somehow trigger
this system to send a status request to ofbiz.

1) Is ofbiz able to send messages to external systems?
2) Is there a trigger function at
    2.1) database layer?
    2.2) process layer?

Thanks a lot in advance for your feedback or a reference to ofbiz's
documentation.

Kind regards
Peter

Thanks a lot for your detailed answers, Chris and Jaques!
I will now take a deeper look at it, likely to have new questions :-) 
Thanks again for your immediate help!

Regards
Peter

Yes using the export="true" service definition attribute. Look for instance in framework/common/servicedef/services_test.xml

Yes as Chris said, at the process layer, we call them ECA.

Ofbiz has the equivalent of triggers.  These 'triggers' can be programmed in
java so you can send jms messages, email, or make web service calls from
them.
