# Introduction

We are happy to release the first versions of the webhook system on InviteLogger. \
Its goal is to allow more flexibility around our services and allow our customer to implement their own automations to expand even more InviteLogger's capabilities.

Use case example: *I want to register every inviter in a google spreadsheet*

## What is a webhook?

Webhooks are a way for public service such as InviteLogger to spontaneously interact with external services like zapier or even your own private api.\
Once a certain event is triggered on the bot (i.e a member joining your server), InviteLogger will send a request with a specified payload to your services.&#x20;

## How to set up InviteLogger webhooks ?

To use InviteLogger webhooks you must setup a way to receive them by :

* Registering to an automation platform (zapier, ifttt.com, make.com...)
* Or by installing your own web service to listen for InviteLogger webhooks and handle data on your side (coding skills required) <br>

  Once your service is ready, paste run the `/webhookconfig` command and provide your link and an authentication key to ensure webhook security.
