# Webhooks

BetterStatus sends a POST request to a URL of your choice whenever a monitor changes status. Useful for triggering custom workflows, internal tools, or third-party integrations. Webhooks are available on the **Pro** and **Enterprise** plans.

### Enabling for yourself

Go to **Monitors** → **Your monitor** → **Alerts** and add a webhook URL. We'll send a JSON payload to that endpoint on every status change.

### Enabling for your users

Users can add their own webhook URL from your status page. Go to **Status Pages** → **Your page** → **Alerts** to control whether webhooks are available as a subscription option.

### Unsubscribing (users)

To unsubscribe, users can re-enter the same webhook URL on your status page. Submitting it a second time removes it.

### Payload

When a status change occurs, we send a POST request with a JSON body like this:

```json theme={null}
{
  "monitor": {
    "name": "My API",
    "type": "api_endpoint"
  },
  "status": "incident_started"
}
```
