Webhooks allow you to build or set up GitHub Apps which subscribe to certain events on GitHub.com. Webhooks provide a way for notifications to be delivered to an external web server whenever certain actions occur on a repository or organization. Also called a service hook.

Configuring webhooks for events in your sponsored account

You can configure webhooks to alert you when you receive new sponsorships or existing sponsors make changes to their sponsorships.

To monitor changes to your sponsorships, such as cancellations at the end of a pay period, you can create webhooks for your sponsored user or organization account. When you set up a webhook for your sponsored user or organization account, you'll receive updates when sponsorships are created, edited, or deleted. For more information, see the sponsorship webhook event.
