| About webhooks |
|
Webhooks provide a way for notifications to be delivered to an external web server whenever certain actions occur on a repository or organization. |

Tip: {{ site.data.reusables.organizations.owners-and-admins-can }} manage webhooks for an organization. {{ site.data.reusables.organizations.new-org-permissions-more-info }}
{% endtip %}
Webhooks can be triggered whenever a variety of actions are performed on a repository or an organization. For example, you can configure a webhook to execute whenever:
- A repository is pushed to
- A pull request is opened
- A {{ site.data.variables.product.prodname_pages }} site is built
- A new member is added to a team
Using the {{ site.data.variables.product.product_name }} API, you can make these webhooks update an external issue tracker, trigger CI builds, update a backup mirror, or even deploy to your production server.
To set up a new webhook, you'll need access to an external server and familiarity with the technical procedures involved. For help on building a webhook, including a full list of actions you can associate with, see "Webhooks."
