# Getting Started[¶](#getting-started "Permanent link")

Webhooks are configured per app. To create one, open **Settings → Webhooks** in your app's sidebar in the [Console](https://console.cloud.capawesome.io/) and click **Create**.

Each webhook has the following properties:

* **Name** (required) — a human-readable name to identify the webhook.
* **URL** (required) — the endpoint that receives the `POST` requests.
* **Format** (required) — `Raw` for custom integrations, or a notification format ([Slack](/docs/cloud/integrations/slack/), [Discord](/docs/cloud/integrations/discord/), [Microsoft Teams](/docs/cloud/integrations/microsoft-teams/)).
* **Events** (required) — one or more [events](/docs/cloud/webhooks/event-types/) that trigger the webhook.
* **Signing Secret** (optional) — a secret used to [sign each request](/docs/cloud/webhooks/securing/) so the receiver can verify authenticity. Only available for the `Raw` format.

Choosing a **format** is the main decision here: pick a notification format when you just want messages in a chat channel, or `Raw` when your own backend needs to react to the event — in which case you'll also want a signing secret to [verify each request](/docs/cloud/webhooks/securing/).

Test before going live

Use [webhook.cool](https://webhook.cool/) to generate a temporary URL and inspect real payloads before pointing the webhook at your production endpoint.

Once created, trigger one of the subscribed [events](/docs/cloud/webhooks/event-types/) — for example, by starting a build — and confirm your endpoint receives the request. Every attempt is recorded in the [delivery log](/docs/cloud/webhooks/delivery-and-retries/), so you can see exactly what was sent and how your endpoint responded.

## Next steps[¶](#next-steps "Permanent link")

* [Event Types](/docs/cloud/webhooks/event-types/) — the events you can subscribe to.
* [Payload Structure](/docs/cloud/webhooks/payload-structure/) — the shape of the JSON your endpoint receives.
* [Securing Webhooks](/docs/cloud/webhooks/securing/) — verify requests with a signing secret.
