## 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 {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} 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 "[AUTOTITLE](/rest/webhooks/repos#create-a-repository-webhook)."

1. Under "Payload URL", type the URL where you'd like to receive payloads.
|
|
{% data reusables.webhooks.content_type_and_secret %}

|
|
1. To make the webhook active immediately after adding the configuration, select **Active**.
|
|
{% data reusables.webhooks.add_webhook_button %}

After you create a new webhook, {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} will send you a simple `ping` event to let you know you've set up the webhook correctly. For more information, see "[AUTOTITLE](/webhooks/webhook-events-and-payloads#ping)."
