# Alert Webhooks

Alert Webhooks allow you to forward security notifications from Sentry to your existing communication and incident response tools in real-time. Integrate with Slack, Discord, PagerDuty, or any custom system to ensure security alerts reach your team wherever they work.

## Why Use Webhooks?

### Real-Time Notification

Critical security events require immediate attention:

* Credential breach detected → instant Slack message
* Domain content changed → PagerDuty alert
* Critical GitHub vulnerability → Discord notification
* War room created → notify all stakeholders

Webhooks deliver alerts within seconds of detection.

### Workflow Automation

Webhooks enable automation:

* Create tickets in Jira/Linear from security findings
* Update status pages when incidents detected
* Trigger runbooks in incident response platforms
* Log events to SIEM systems
* Start automated remediation workflows

## Supported Event Types

Configure webhooks to receive specific event types:

* **SECURITY\_EVENT** - General security events, policy violations, unusual activity
* **BREACH\_ALERT** - Credential breaches and compromised passwords
* **DOMAIN\_CHANGE** - Domain content, DNS, security headers, SSL/TLS changes
* **GITHUB\_ALERT** - Suspicious commits, vulnerabilities, secret exposures
* **MEMBER\_CHANGE** - Team member additions, removals, permission changes
* **SMART\_CONTRACT\_ALERT** - Smart contract critical issues
