About creating webhooks

You can create webhooks to subscribe to specific events on GitHub that occur in a repository, organization, GitHub Marketplace account, GitHub Sponsors account, or GitHub App.

For more information about the different types of webhooks, see Types of webhooks.

For a complete list of webhook events, see Webhook events and payloads.

Creating a repository webhook

You can create a webhook to subscribe to events that occur in a specific repository. You must be a repository owner or have admin access in the repository to create webhooks in that repository.

You can use the GitHub web interface or the REST API to create a repository webhook. For more information about using the REST API to create a repository webhook, see REST API endpoints for repository webhooks.

  1. On GitHub, navigate to the main page of the repository.

  2. Under your repository name, click Settings. If you cannot see the "Settings" tab, select the dropdown menu, then click Settings.

  3. In the left sidebar, click Webhooks.

  4. Click Add webhook.

  5. Under "Payload URL", type the URL where you'd like to receive payloads.

  6. Optionally, select the Content type drop-down menu, and click a data format to receive the webhook payload in.

    • application/json will deliver the JSON payload directly as the body of the POST request.
    • application/x-www-form-urlencoded will send the JSON payload as a form parameter called payload.

  7. Optionally, under "Secret", type a string to use as a secret key. You should choose a random string of text with high entropy. You can use the webhook secret to limit incoming requests to only those originating from GitHub. For more information, see Validating webhook deliveries.

  8. Under "Which events would you like to trigger this webhook?", select the webhook events that you want to receive. You should only subscribe to the webhook events that you need.

  9. If you chose Let me select individual events, select the events that you want to trigger the webhook.

  10. To make the webhook active immediately after adding the configuration, select Active.

  11. Click Add webhook.

After you create a new webhook, GitHub will send you a simple ping event to let you know you've set up the webhook correctly. For more information, see Webhook events and payloads.
