Summary

Webhooks are a robust feature of GitHub that facilitate integration with internal tools and third-party services by allowing subscriptions to specific activities on the platform, which trigger notifications to external web servers via HTTP POST. These webhooks are commonly used for tasks like triggering CI builds, deploying applications, or updating external bug trackers. In response to user feedback, GitHub has expanded the range of events to which users can subscribe, including editing or deleting issue or pull request comments, changing a repository’s visibility, and deleting a repository. When edits occur, the webhook payload highlights the changes made. These new webhook events are now accessible on GitHub.com, with additional details available in the developer blog and documentation.
