Editing webhooks for a GitHub App
Each GitHub App has one webhook. You cannot delete the webhook, but you can activate or deactivate the webhook, change the webhook events that the webhook subscribes to, or make changes to other basic settings for the webhook.
The owner of a GitHub App can edit the webhook configuration for the app. If an organization has designated any app managers for a GitHub App owned by the organization, the app managers can also edit the webhook configuration. For more information, see "Using webhooks with GitHub Apps."
- In the upper-right corner of any page on GitHub, click your profile photo.
- Navigate to your account settings.
- For an app owned by a personal account, click Settings.
- For an app owned by an organization:
- Click Your organizations.
- To the right of the organization, click Settings.
- In the left sidebar, click Developer settings.
- In the left sidebar, click GitHub Apps.
- Next to the GitHub App that you want to update the webhook configuration for, click Edit.
- To edit the basic webhook settings:
- Under "Webhook", any desired changes to the webhook settings.
- Click Save changes.
- To make changes to the events that the webhook is subscribed to:
-
In the sidebar, click Permissions & events.
-
The specific webhook events that you can select for your GitHub App registration are determined by the type of permissions you selected for your app. You will first need to select the permissions you would like your app to have, and then you can subscribe your app to webhook events that are related to that set of permissions.
Under the sections "Repository permissions," "Organization permissions," and "Account permissions," select the permissions that are required for the events your app will subscribe to. For more information, see "Choosing permissions for a GitHub App." For more information about things to consider when changing the permissions, see "Modifying a GitHub App registration."

Under "Subscribe to Events," select the webhook events you would like your GitHub App to receive.

Click Save changes.
