About webhook types

A webhook can only access events that are available in the repository, organization, {% ifversion ghes or ghec %}{% data variables.product.prodname_enterprise %}, {% endif %} {% ifversion fpt or ghec %}{% data variables.product.prodname_marketplace %} account, {% endif %} {% ifversion fpt or ghec %}{% data variables.product.prodname_sponsors %} account, {% endif %} or {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} where it is installed.

You cannot create webhooks for individual user accounts, or for events that are specific to user resources, like personal notifications or mentions.

To create and manage webhooks, you must own or have admin access to the resource where the webhook is created and listening for events on. For example, to manage webhooks in an organization, you need admin permissions for that organization.

Some webhook events are unique to certain types of webhooks. For example, an organization webhook can subscribe to events that only occur at the organization level, which a repository webhook cannot subscribe to. For more information about the specific availability of each webhook, see "AUTOTITLE."

For more information, see "AUTOTITLE."

Repository webhooks

You can create webhooks in a repository to subscribe to events that occur in that repository. You must be a repository owner or have admin access in the repository to create and manage webhooks in a repository. You cannot create, edit, or delete webhooks in a repository where you do not have the required permissions.

You can create multiple webhooks in a single repository. However, you can only create up to {% ifversion ghes %}250{% else %}20{% endif %} webhooks that subscribe to each individual event type. For example, in a single repository you could only create up to {% ifversion ghes %}250{% else %}20{% endif %} different webhooks that each subscribe to the push event.

You can use the {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} web interface or the REST API to manage repository webhooks. For more information, see "AUTOTITLE," "AUTOTITLE," and "AUTOTITLE." For more information about using the REST API to manage repository webhooks, see "AUTOTITLE."

Organization webhooks

You can create webhooks in an organization to subscribe to events that occur in that organization. Organization webhooks can subscribe to events that happen in all repositories owned by the organization. They can also subscribe to events that happen at the organization level that are outside of any particular repository, like when a new member is added to the organization.

You must be an organization owner to create and manage webhooks in an organization.

You can create multiple webhooks in a single organization. However, you can only create up to {% ifversion ghes %}250{% else %}20{% endif %} webhooks that subscribe to each individual event type. For example, in a single organization you could only create up to {% ifversion ghes %}250{% else %}20{% endif %} different webhooks that each subscribe to the push event.

You can use the {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} web interface or the REST API to manage organization webhooks. For more information, see "AUTOTITLE," "AUTOTITLE," and "AUTOTITLE." For more information about using the REST API to manage organization webhooks, see "AUTOTITLE."

{% ifversion ghes or ghec %}

Global webhooks for {% data variables.product.prodname_enterprise %}

Enterprise owners can create global webhooks to subscribe to events that occur within their enterprise or within organizations and repositories owned by the enterprise.

You can create multiple webhooks in a single enterprise. However, you can only create up to {% ifversion ghes %}250{% else %}20{% endif %} webhooks that subscribe to each individual event type. For example, in a single enterprise you could only create up to {% ifversion ghes %}250{% else %}20{% endif %} different webhooks that each subscribe to the membership event.

You can use the {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} web interface to manage global webhooks. For more information, see "AUTOTITLE," "AUTOTITLE," and "AUTOTITLE." {% data reusables.enterprise_user_management.manage-global-webhooks-api %}

{% endif %}

{% ifversion fpt or ghec %}

{% data variables.product.prodname_marketplace %} webhooks

You can create a webhook to subscribe to events relating to an app that you published in {% data variables.product.prodname_marketplace %}. You can only create one webhook for each app in {% data variables.product.prodname_marketplace %}. Only the owner of the app, or an app manager for the organization that owns the app, can create and manage a {% data variables.product.prodname_marketplace %} webhook.

A {% data variables.product.prodname_marketplace %} webhook cannot be deleted, but you can deactivate it to stop receiving webhook deliveries.

You can use the {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} web interface to manage a {% data variables.product.prodname_marketplace %} webhook. For more information, see "AUTOTITLE," "AUTOTITLE," and "AUTOTITLE."

{% data variables.product.prodname_sponsors %} webhooks

You can create webhooks to subscribe to events relating to {% data variables.product.prodname_sponsors %}. You can only create up to {% ifversion ghes %}250{% else %}20{% endif %} webhooks for a {% data variables.product.prodname_sponsors %} account.

You must be an account owner or have admin access in the sponsored account to manage sponsorship webhooks.

You can use the {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} web interface to manage {% data variables.product.prodname_sponsors %} webhooks. For more information, see "AUTOTITLE," "AUTOTITLE," and "AUTOTITLE."

{% endif %}

{% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} webhooks

You can configure a {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} to receive webhooks when specific events occur in a repository or organization that the app has been granted access to.

Each {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} has a single webhook that is automatically created by {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}. By default, the webhook is not subscribed to any events. You can configure the events that the webhook subscribes to. A {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} webhook cannot be deleted, but you can deactivate it to stop receiving webhook deliveries.

You can use the {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} web interface or the REST API to manage a {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} webhook. For more information, see "AUTOTITLE," "AUTOTITLE," and "AUTOTITLE." For more information about using the REST API to manage {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} webhooks, see "AUTOTITLE."
