# Webhook Support for Sensor Notifications

Webhooks allow interaction between web-based applications through the use of custom callbacks. The use of webhooks allows web applications to automatically communicate with other web-apps.

SysTrack supports webhooks for activated sensor notifications in addition to setting up email and webhook notifications.

Notifications can have both webhooks and email addresses.

When a sensor notification threshold is reached, SysTrack sends an HTTP request with information about the notification to a third party.

Multiple notifications can go to the same webhook and you can set up webhooks on a per notification basis. However, two webhooks cannot share the same name.

For information about integrating with Qualtrics, see [Operational Pulse Integration with Qualtrics](/documentation/docs/operational-pulse-integration-with-qualtrics).

## Set Up Webhooks in SysTrack

After you create a webhook, you can reuse it for subsequent notifications.

1. Add a recipient. See [Sensor Notification Recipients](/documentation/docs/sensor-notification-recipients).
2. In Recipient Type, select System and enter a name.
3. In Connection, click **Webhook**.
4. In Notification Type, click Sensor Notification. View the [Anomalies](/documentation/docs/anomaly-detection) documentation for more information on Anomaly Notifications.
5. Enter the URL. This URL will come from the third-party system that is receiving the webhook.
6. In Request Method, select one of the following:
  1. POST: creates a new resource in the third-party application where the webhook is being sent.
  2. PUT: updates a resource in the third-party application where the webhook is being sent.

> [!NOTE]
> **NOTE:** The POST and PUT settings will depend on the third-party you integrate with.

1. In Authentication, select one of the following options:

> [!NOTE]
> **NOTE:** Existing webhooks created with the previous **Off******option will continue to work. When editing these webhooks, the Specify **Authentication via a Header** option will appear selected.
  1. Basic Auth: Enter the username and password associated with the third-party system. Both username and password are required for this authentication method.
  2. Signed Secret: Manually enter your own secret text or click Generate to automatically create one. This field is required for this authentication method.

The secret is passed in a webhook header so that the receiving system knows it is coming from a valid source.

> [!WARNING]
> **IMPORTANT:** The secret is only shown in the UI at this time. Make sure that you store the secret somewhere safe.
  3. Specify Authentication via a Header: Authenticate using a custom header, such as an API key or bearer token, instead of Basic Auth or a signed secret.

> [!NOTE]
> **NOTE:** This option does not enforce adding a header, but it is recommended for production environments.
2. In Headers, select the plus sign to add multiple, unique headers. Headers are optional.

> [!NOTE]
> **NOTE:** If you select the Sensitive checkbox, when you save, the value for that header will not be shown in the interface again.
3. In Body, enter a custom template for the content of the webhook payload. A default JSON body template displays in this section for you to use as a starting point for the webhook body. For more information, see [Sensor Notification Webhook Body Templates](/documentation/docs/sensor-notification-webhook-body-templates).
4. Click **Add Recipient**.
