# Managing Webhook Triggers

CometChat allows you to configure and manage webhook triggers either through the **CometChat Dashboard** or by using the **Management APIs**. This guide walks you through both methods.

***

## Option 1: Managing Webhooks via Dashboard

You can easily configure webhook triggers through the CometChat dashboard.

### Steps to Configure:

1. Log in to the [CometChat Dashboard](https://app.cometchat.com/login) and select your app.

2. Navigate to **Settings** > **Webhooks** in the left-hand menu.

3. Click **Add Webhook** to create a new webhook.

4. Provide the following details:

   * **Webhook ID** – A unique identifier.
   * **URL** – Your server endpoint where event payloads will be sent.
   * **Triggers** – Enable events you wish to listen to.
   * **Security** – Enable authentication for enhanced security.

5. Enable the webhook.

6. Click **Save** to apply your configuration.
