Global Webhooks
Global Webhooks are installed on your enterprise. You can use global webhooks to automatically monitor, respond to, or enforce rules for users, organizations, teams, and repositories on your enterprise.
Global webhooks can subscribe to the organization, user, repository, team, member, membership, fork, and ping event types.
This API is only available to authenticated site administrators. Normal users will receive a 404
response if they try to access it. To learn how to configure global webhooks, see About global webhooks.
