# Webhooks

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Please note**: A new beta version of this view is available. You can find it under [Alerts (BETA)](/docs/manual/english/platform-usage/alerts-beta.md) → [Webhooks (BETA)](/docs/manual/english/platform-usage/alerts-beta/webhooks-beta.md).

Webhooks allow you to connect Alerts to third-party software, for example, to receive notifications outside the Enginsight platform.

<i class="fa-compass">:compass:</i> Navigate to **Alerts** → **Webhooks** to display a list of all created webhooks. If you have not created a webhook yet, this view is empty.

The [webhook overview](/docs/manual/english/platform-usage/alerts/webhooks.md#webhook-overiew) provides information including:

* which HTTP method a webhook uses.
* which target URL is configured for the webhook.

You can also delete webhooks and [create new webhooks](#add-webhook).
