In this article

You can configure webhooks to alert you when you receive new sponsorships or existing sponsors make changes to their sponsorships.

About webhooks for events in your sponsored account

To monitor changes to your sponsorships, such as cancellations at the end of a pay period, you can create webhooks for your sponsored user or organization account. When you set up a webhook for your sponsored account, you'll receive updates when sponsorships are created, edited, or deleted. For more information, see the sponsorship webhook event.
