Webhook events and payloads

When configuring a webhook, you can use the UI or API to choose which events will send you payloads. Only subscribing to the specific events you plan on handling limits the number of HTTP requests to your server. You can also subscribe to all current and future events. By default, webhooks are only subscribed to the push event. You can change the list of subscribed events anytime.

You can create webhooks that subscribe to the events listed on this page. Each webhook event includes a description of the webhook properties and an example payload. For more information, see "Creating webhooks."

Webhook payload object common properties

Each webhook event payload also contains properties unique to the event. You can find the unique properties in the individual event type sections.

Key	Type	Description
`action`	`string`	Most webhook payloads contain an `action` property that contains the specific activity that triggered the event.
`sender`	`object`	The user that triggered the event. This property is included in every webhook payload.
`repository`	`object`	The `repository` where the event occurred. Webhook payloads contain the `repository` property when the event occurs from activity in a repository.
`organization`	`object`	Webhook payloads contain the `organization` object when the webhook is configured for an organization or the event occurs from activity in a repository owned by an organization.
`installation`	`object`	The GitHub App installation. Webhook payloads contain the `installation` property when the event is configured for and sent to a GitHub App. For more information, see "Building GitHub App."

The unique properties for a webhook event are the same properties you'll find in the payload property when using the Events API. One exception is the push event. The unique properties of the push event webhook payload and the payload property in the Events API differ. The webhook payload contains more detailed information.

Note: Payloads are capped at 25 MB. If your event generates a larger payload, a webhook will not be fired. This may happen, for example, on a create event if many branches or tags are pushed at once. We suggest monitoring your payload size to ensure delivery.

Delivery headers

HTTP POST payloads that are delivered to your webhook's configured URL endpoint will contain several special headers:

Header	Description
`X-GitHub-Event`	Name of the event that triggered the delivery.
`X-GitHub-Delivery`	A GUID to identify the delivery.
`X-GitHub-Enterprise-Version`	The version of the GitHub Enterprise Server instance that sent the HTTP POST payload.
`X-GitHub-Enterprise-Host`	The hostname of the GitHub Enterprise Server instance that sent the HTTP POST payload.
`X-Hub-Signature`	This header is sent if the webhook is configured with a `secret`. This is the HMAC hex digest of the request body, and is generated using the SHA-1 hash function and the `secret` as the HMAC `key`. `X-Hub-Signature` is provided for compatibility with existing integrations, and we recommend that you use the more secure `X-Hub-Signature-256` instead.
`X-Hub-Signature-256`	This header is sent if the webhook is configured with a `secret`. This is the HMAC hex digest of the request body, and is generated using the SHA-256 hash function and the `secret` as the HMAC `key`.

Also, the User-Agent for the requests will have the prefix GitHub-Hookshot/.

check_run

Check run activity has occurred. The type of activity is specified in the action property of the payload object. For more information, see the "check runs" REST API.

Note: The Checks API only looks for pushes in the repository where the check suite or check run were created. Pushes to a branch in a forked repository are not detected and return an empty pull_requests array and a null value for head_branch.

Availability

Repository webhooks only receive payloads for the created and completed event types in a repository
Organization webhooks only receive payloads for the created and completed event types in repositories
GitHub Apps with Checks read permission receive payloads for the created and completed events that occur in the repository where the app is installed. The app must have Checks write permission to receive the rerequested and requested_action event types. The rerequested and requested_action event type payloads are only sent to the GitHub App being requested. GitHub Apps with Checks write permission are automatically subscribed to this webhook event.

Webhook payload object

Key	Type	Description
`action`	`string`	The action performed. Can be one of: `created` - A new check run was created. `completed` - The `status` of the check run is `completed`. `rerequested` - Someone requested to re-run your check run from the pull request UI. See "About status checks" for more details about the GitHub UI. When you receive a `rerequested` action, you'll need to create a new check run. Only the GitHub App that someone requests to re-run the check will receive the `rerequested` payload. `requested_action` - Someone requested an action your app provides to be taken. Only the GitHub App someone requests to perform an action will receive the `requested_action` payload. To learn more about check runs and requested actions, see "Check runs and requested actions."
`check_run`	`object`	The check_run.
`check_run[status]`	`string`	The current status of the check run. Can be `queued`, `in_progress`, or `completed`.
`check_run[conclusion]`	`string`	The result of the completed check run. Can be one of `success`, `failure`, `neutral`, `cancelled`, `timed_out`, `action_required` or `stale`. This value will be `null` until the check run has `completed`.
`check_run[name]`	`string`	The name of the check run.
`check_run[check_suite][id]`	`integer`	The id of the check suite that this check run is part of.
`check_run[check_suite][pull_requests]`	`array`	An array of pull requests that match this check suite. A pull request matches a check suite if they have the same `head_branch`. Note: The `head_sha` of the check suite can differ from the `sha` of the pull request if subsequent pushes are made into the PR. When the check suite's `head_branch` is in a forked repository it will be `null` and the `pull_requests` array will be empty.
`check_run[check_suite][deployment]`	`object`	A deployment to a repository environment. This will only be populated if the check run was created by a GitHub Actions workflow job that references an environment.
`requested_action`	`object`	The action requested by the user.
`requested_action[identifier]`	`string`	The integrator reference of the action requested by the user.
`repository`	`object`	The `repository` where the event occurred.
`organization`	`object`	Webhook payloads contain the `organization` object when the webhook is configured for an organization or the event occurs from activity in a repository owned by an organization.
`installation`	`object`	The GitHub App installation. Webhook payloads contain the `installation` property when the event is configured for and sent to a GitHub App.
`sender`	`object`	The user that triggered the event.

check_suite

Check suite activity has occurred. The type of activity is specified in the action property of the payload object. For more information, see the "check suites" REST API.

Availability

Repository webhooks only receive payloads for the completed event types in a repository
Organization webhooks only receive payloads for the completed event types in repositories
GitHub Apps with Checks read permission receive payloads for the created and completed events that occur in the repository where the app is installed. The app must have Checks write permission to receive the requested and rerequested event types. The requested and rerequested event type payloads are only sent to the GitHub App being requested. GitHub Apps with Checks write permission are automatically subscribed to this webhook event.

Webhook payload object

Key	Type	Description
`action`	`string`	The action performed. Can be: `completed` - All check runs in a check suite have completed. `requested` - Occurs when new code is pushed to the app's repository. When you receive the `requested` action events, you'll need to create a new check run. `rerequested` - Occurs when someone requests to re-run the entire check suite from the pull request UI. When you receive the `rerequested` action events, you'll need to create a new check run. See "About status checks" for more details about the GitHub UI.
`check_suite`	`object`	The check_suite.
`check_suite[head_branch]`	`string`	The head branch name the changes are on.
`check_suite[head_sha]`	`string`	The SHA of the most recent commit for this check suite.
`check_suite[status]`	`string`	The summary status for all check runs that are part of the check suite. Can be `queued`, `requested`, `in_progress`, or `completed`.
`check_suite[conclusion]`	`string`	The summary conclusion for all check runs that are part of the check suite. Can be one of `success`, `failure`, `neutral`, `cancelled`, `timed_out`, `action_required` or `stale`. This value will be `null` until the check run has `completed`.
`check_suite[url]`	`string`	URL that points to the check suite API resource.
`check_suite[pull_requests]`	`array`	An array of pull requests that match this check suite. A pull request matches a check suite if they have the same `head_branch`. Note: The `head_sha` of the check suite can differ from the `sha` of the pull request if subsequent pushes are made into the PR. When the check suite's `head_branch` is in a forked repository it will be `null` and the `pull_requests` array will be empty.
`repository`	`object`	The `repository` where the event occurred.
`organization`	`object`	Webhook payloads contain the `organization` object when the webhook is configured for an organization or the event occurs from activity in a repository owned by an organization.
`installation`	`object`	The GitHub App installation. Webhook payloads contain the `installation` property when the event is configured for and sent to a GitHub App.
`sender`	`object`	The user that triggered the event.

content_reference

A new content reference is created. A new content reference is created when the body or comment of an issue or pull request includes a URL that matches a configured content reference domain. For more information, see "Using content attachments" to learn more about content references and attachments.

Webhook events are triggered based on the specificity of the domain you register. For example, if you register a subdomain (https://subdomain.example.com) then only URLs for the subdomain trigger this event. If you register a domain (https://example.com) then URLs for domain and all subdomains trigger this event. See "Create a content attachment" to create a new content attachment.
