shortTitle: About integration
intro: 'You can perform {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning %} externally and then display the results in {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}, or set up webhooks that listen to {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning %} activity in your repository.'

As an alternative to running {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning %} within {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}, you can perform analysis elsewhere and then upload the results. Alerts for {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning %} that you run externally are displayed in the same way as those for {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning %} that you run within {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}. For more information, see "[Managing {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning %} alerts for your repository](/code-security/secure-coding/managing-code-scanning-alerts-for-your-repository)."
If you use a third-party static analysis tool that can produce results as Static Analysis Results Interchange Format (SARIF) 2.1.0 data, you can upload this to {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}. For more information, see "[Uploading a SARIF file to GitHub](/code-security/secure-coding/uploading-a-sarif-file-to-github)."
### Integrations with webhooks
You can use {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning %} webhooks to build or set up integrations, such as [{% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %}s](/apps/building-github-apps/) or [{% data variables.product.prodname_oauth_app %}s](/apps/building-oauth-apps/), that subscribe to {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning %} events in your repository. For example, you could build an integration that creates an issue on {% data variables.product.product_name %} or sends you a Slack notification when a new {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning %} alert is added in your repository. For more information, see "[Creating webhooks](/developers/webhooks-and-events/creating-webhooks)" and "[Webhook events and payloads](/developers/webhooks-and-events/webhook-events-and-payloads#code_scanning_alert)."
