An Incoming Webhook Integration is used to receive a webhook from an external system (for example, GitHub) to trigger a pipeline step.

Creating an Incoming Webhook Integration

You can add this integration by following steps on the Managing Pipelines Integrations page.

Here is the information you need to create this integration:

  • Name -- choose a friendly name for the integration

  • Authorization Type -

    select hmac, basic, or authorization

  • User Name -- username to use with basic authType to trigger the webhook

  • Password -- password for the user to trigger the webhook for basic authType
