description: Learn how to use webhooks to receive real-time notifications about your documents.

# Webhooks
Webhooks are HTTP callbacks triggered by specific events. When the user subscribes to a specific event, and that event occurs, the webhook makes an HTTP request to the URL provided by the user. The request can be a simple notification or carry a payload with more information about the event.
Some of the common use cases for webhooks include:
1. **Real-time Data Syncing**: Webhooks provide a way to keep data in sync across different platforms. For example, you can keep your system up-to-date with your Documenso documents by subscribing to events like document creation or signing.
2. **Automating Workflows**: They can trigger automated workflows that start when an event occurs. For example, the webhook could trigger an email when a document is signed.
3. **Integrating Third-Party Services**: Webhooks can be used to integrate Documenso with third-party services. For example, you could use a webhook to send data to a CRM system when a document is signed.
Documenso supports Webhooks and allows you to subscribe to the following events:
- `document.created`
- `document.sent`
- `document.opened`
- `document.signed`
- `document.completed`
## Create a webhook subscription
You can create a webhook subscription from the user settings page. Click on your avatar in the top right corner of the dashboard and select "**[User settings](https://app.documenso.com/settings)**" from the dropdown menu.

Then, navigate to the "**[Webhooks](https://app.documenso.com/settings/webhooks)**" tab, where you can see a list of your existing webhooks and create new ones.

Clicking on the "**Create Webhook**" button opens a modal to create a new webhook subscription.
To create a new webhook subscription, you need to provide the following information:
- Enter the webhook URL that will receive the event payload.
- Select the event(s) you want to subscribe to: `document.created`, `document.sent`, `document.opened`, `document.signed`, `document.completed`.
- Optionally, you can provide a secret key that will be used to sign the payload. This key will be included in the `X-Documenso-Signature` header of the request.

After you have filled in the required information, click on the "**Create Webhook**" button to save your subscription.
The screenshot below illustrates a newly created webhook subscription.

You can edit or delete your webhook subscriptions by clicking the "**Edit**" or "**Delete**" buttons next to the webhook.

## Webhook event payload example
When an event that you have subscribed to occurs, Documenso will send a POST request to the specified webhook URL with a payload containing information about the event.
