# Adding a Webhook

You can use a webhook to send alerts from the Command Center to a third-party application. You can also configure alerts to send messages to the third-party applications. For example, you can configure the webhook receiver alerts on Splunk, Microsoft Teams, Slack and other event management applications that supports webhook or HTTPS data input. The webhook endpoint-HTTPS certificate must be signed by a public CA.

Note

- Only tenant administrators and MSP administrators can add webhooks.

- In the Commvault SaaS environment, the webhook hostname must be whitelisted to allow message delivery to public webhooks. SaaS users must contact the SRE team to request whitelisting of the webhook hostname.

- When a new webhook is created, its initial status is Not applicable. This status indicates that the webhook has not yet been associated with an alert or SIEM connector, and no attempts have been made to deliver data to it. After the first data delivery attempt, the status is updated to either Online or Offline, depending on whether the delivery succeeds or fails.

## Before You Begin

You must have the URL for the webhook that is provided by the third-party application.

## Procedure

1. From the Command Center navigation pane, go to Manage > Integration > Third Party Integration.

2. Click the Webhooks tile.

   The Webhooks page appears.

3. In the upper-right area of the page, click Add.

   The Add webhook page appears.

4. In the Name box, enter a name for the webhook.

5. In the URL box, enter the URL that is provided by the third-party application.

6. Optional: If the third party application accepts token in the header instead of URL, under Headers, in the Name box, type the header name. In the Value box, type the token.

7. To secure the alerts, from the Authentication list, select Secret HMAC, and then enter a secret key.

   The secret HMAC key secures the transfer of the alert. The key must be 8,000 or fewer characters. When the alert is transferred, the secret key generates a digest, which is verified by the receiving server.

   Note

   To configure OAuth authentication for a ServiceNow webhook, see Configuring ServiceNow OAuth for Webhook.

8. Click Add.

## Results

The status of webhooks is indicated by color as follows:

Color | Status | Response code from the webhook
--- | --- | ---
Gray | The webhook is not used | Not applicable
Green | Online | 200
Red | Offline | Not 200

## What to Do Next

After adding the webhook, create the alert. For instructions, see Creating an Alert.
