Webhook events and payloads

Learn about when each webhook event occurs and what the payload contains.

Unternehmenskonten sind mit GitHub Enterprise Cloud und GitHub Enterprise Server verfügbar. Weitere Informationen findest du unter Informationen zu Unternehmenskonten in der Dokumentation zu GitHub Enterprise Cloud.

Webhooks, die für Unternehmenskonten oder für Organisationen, die einem Unternehmenskonto angehören, konfiguriert sind, umfassen ein enterprise-Kontoobjekt.

Beim Konfigurieren eines Webhooks kannst du die UI oder API verwenden, um auszuwählen, welche Ereignisse dir Nutzlasten senden. Nur das Abonnieren der spezifischen Ereignisse, die du für die Behandlung planst, beschränkt die Anzahl der HTTP-Anforderungen auf deinen Server. Du kannst auch alle aktuellen und zukünftigen Ereignisse abonnieren. Standardmäßig werden Webhooks nur für das Push-Ereignis abonniert. Du kannst die Liste der abonnierten Ereignisse jederzeit ändern.

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 "Erstellen von 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.

KeyTypeDescription
actionstringMost webhook payloads contain an action property that contains the specific activity that triggered the event.
senderobjectDer Benutzer, der das Ereignis ausgelöst hat. This property is included in every webhook payload.
repositoryobjectDas repository, in dem das Ereignis aufgetreten ist. Webhook payloads contain the repository property when the event occurs from activity in a repository.
organizationobjectWebhooknutzdaten enthalten das organization-Objekt, wenn der Webhook für eine Organisation konfiguriert ist oder das Ereignis über Aktivitäten in einem Repository auftritt, das einer Organisation gehört.
installationobjectDie GitHub App-Installation. Webhookpayloads enthalten die Eigenschaft installation, wenn das Ereignis für eine GitHub App konfiguriert und an diese gesendet wurde. For more information, see "Creating GitHub Apps."

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:

HeaderDescription
X-GitHub-EventName of the event that triggered the delivery.
X-GitHub-DeliveryA GUID to identify the delivery.
X-Hub-SignatureThis 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-256This 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/.
