Manage webhooks
Webhooks are user-defined HTTP POST callbacks. They provide a lightweight mechanism for letting remote applications receive push notifications from Jira, without requiring polling.
For example, you may want any changes in Jira bugs to be pushed to a test management system, so that they can be retested.
Get started by learning more about Jira Webhooks (Jira developer documentation). This doc provides detailed info on how to configure Jira webhooks, including a description of the events, how to register a webhook via the REST API, and common examples.
This page only contains instructions on how to use the Webhooks user interface in the Jira administration console.
Managing webhooks in Jira
Log in as a user with the Administer Jira global permission.
Choose Settings () then System. Under Advanced, select WebHooks.
Select the summary of the webhook in the left 'Webhooks' column to display the details of the webhook. You can edit, delete and disable the webhook via the details panel.
Deleting a webhook removes it permanently. If you just want to prevent it from firing, disable the webhook instead.
Webhooks push data into other applications that might not be secure. If you’re in an Atlassian Government environment double-check where your data is going before you set up the webhook.
