## Overview
Some types of notifications can be triggered by a webhook after a particular event.
- Open a Project, Select a table and Click 'More' > 'Webhooks'.
- Click 'Create webhook'
- Configure the webhook
## Triggers
Webhooks allows user to trigger on certain operations on following database operations
- AFTER INSERT
- AFTER UPDATE
- AFTER DELETE
The triggers will trigger asynchronously without blocking the actual operation.
### Applications/services

| --------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |

| Slack | Notify via Slack channel |
| Microsoft Teams | Notify via Microsoft Teams channel |
| Discord | Notify via Discord channel |

## Accessing Data: Handlebars
The current row data and other details will be available in the hooks payload so the user can use [handlebar syntax ](https://handlebarsjs.com/guide/#simple-expressions ) to use data.
> We are using [Handlebars](https://handlebarsjs.com/) library to parse the payload internally.
### Example
For a table with column names (id, title, created_at, updated_at).
For INSERT/ UPDATE based triggers, use following handlebars to access corresponding **data** fields.
- {{ **data** .id }}
- {{ **data** .title }}
- {{ **data** .created_at }}
- {{ **data** .updated_at }}
Note that, for Update trigger - all the fields in the ROW will be accessible, not just the field updated.
For DELETE based triggers, **only** {{ data.id }} is accessible representing ID of the column deleted.
### JSON format
Use {{ json data }} to dump complete data & user information available in JSON format
