# Webhooks

When using Featurebase, you might want your applications to react instantly as users interact with your portal. With webhooks, your backend systems can receive and act on real-time updates such as new feedback posts.

Featurebase sends event data to your application's webhook endpoint as a JSON payload, using secure HTTPS. This data contains all the essential event details so you can act on it instantly.

## Registering webhooks

To register a new webhook, you need to have a URL in your app that Featurebase can call. You can configure a new webhook from the Featurebase Dashboard → Settings → [Webhooks](https://auth.featurebase.app/choose-org?redirect=/settings/webhooks), or programmatically via the Webhooks API.

Your webhook endpoint must be a publicly accessible HTTPS URL in this format:


```
https://{your-website}/{your-webhook-endpoint}
```

For example, if your domain is `https://yourawesomesite.com` and your webhook endpoint route is `/featurebase_webhooks`, you would register:


```
https://yourawesomesite.com/featurebase_webhooks
```

You can register up to 10 webhook endpoints per organization. All endpoints must use HTTPS for security.

Now, whenever something of interest happens, a webhook is fired off by Featurebase. In the next section, we'll look at how to consume webhooks.
