Overview

Webhooks allows Polyaxon to send POST requests to user-configured URLs in order to send them a notification about it. The request body is a JSON object containing data about the triggered event, and the end result could be something as simple as a Slack notification or as complex as a triggering a pipeline on a different infrastructure.

Setting up a webhook

Configuring webhooks can be done through the deployment config file. The only required fields to set up a new webhook are a trigger event and a target URL to notify. This target URL is your application URL, the endpoint where the POST request will be sent. Of course, this URL must be reachable from the Internet.
