# Custom Webhook
thatthatSuppose users want to create a webhook for custom use cases, like they want a pipeline or release to be triggered based on the options that they desire so what they can do is they can create a **Generic webhook**. This only requires a **POST** request to be sent on the URL provided and then the pipeline or release will be triggered.\
\
**Steps to create a Generic Webhook for release**
**Pre-requisites:**
* An Active cluster
* A Release that has been created from the Release Templates section
**Steps**
1. On click of the **create webhook** button, a modal window appears in which we can enter the details for webhook creation
2. After this select the webhook type as **Generic**
3. After this select the release type as the **release**
4\. After the trigger type **release** has been selected, select the release which needs to be triggered on the success of the POST request
5. Once all the options are selected, the map parameters button will be enabled users can click on the button to move to the next step
6. On moving to the next step, users can select the desired options for mapping the parameters. Once all the options are chosen users can click on save to create the **Generic webhook.**
7. The webhook once created will be shown in the webhook list view
8. To get the URL of the generic webhook that is created, click on the edit button of the webhook
Now we can use this URL for sending POST requests, after completion of any action we can send a POST request to this URL and the selected Release will be triggered.
### **Steps to create Generic Webhook for pipeline**
**Pre-requisites:**
* An Active cluster
* A microservice
Follow the same steps until **Step 2** of Creating Webhooks for release
**Steps:**
1. Select the trigger type as pipeline
2. Now select the pipeline that needs to be triggered
\
3\. After selecting the pipeline, select the environment in which the webhook needs to be created
**Remember to select the environment the same in which the cluster has been created**\
\
**4.** After selecting the environment, users will be shown an option to select the cluster
5. Once the cluster has been selected, select the microservice
6. After selecting the microservice, users can move to the **Map parameters** step, to select the run parameters for the pipeline
7. In **Map parameters,** users can select all the options as they desire
8. Once all this is done, users can click on the **Save** button to create the webhook for the pipeline
9. The created webhook will be shown in the webhook list view
10. To get the URL of the generic webhook that is created, click on the edit button of the webhook
Now we can use this URL for sending POST requests, after completion of any action we can send a POST request to this URL and the selected Release will be triggered.
This is how webhooks are created for Generic use cases, where we can just send a POST request to the URL and the desired pipeline/release will be triggered.
