Webhooks

Webhooks, introduced in Release 9.7, are able to trigger releases as a reaction to specific HTTP requests made by an external source. This can potentially reduce the load of Release, while also reducing the pressure on external systems caused by polling methods where release triggers had to actively make requests to the third party system.

Note: To pass any data, use only POST endpoints.

Webhook event tasks are extensible automated tasks that wait for events from both webhooks endpoints and deployment provider webhook sources, and complete when the incoming event matches the specified condition.

Webhook event triggers listen to events from event sources such as webhook endpoints and deployment providers to start releases.
