# Create an automation to post a webhook

Sitecore Send allows you to create automated webhooks to connect your workflow to other applications or third-party systems, like Zapier. The webhook, with its data payload, is sent based on a specific trigger in your workflow. For example, sending the user's details details to a customer relationship manager (CRM) system when they subscribe to an email, or exporting the user's data when they make a purchase on the website.

To create an automation to post a webhook:

1. Click **Add flow step**  ![add_flow_step.png](https://doc.sitecore.com/api/markdown-image/send/en/users/sitecore-send/images/add_flow_step.png) below any part of your workflow where you want to add a *Then post a webhook* action.
2. In the **Select action** dialog, click **Actions**.
3. Click ![arrow.png](https://doc.sitecore.com/api/markdown-image/send/en/users/sitecore-send/images/arrow.png) next to the **Then post a webhook** action.
4. In the **Then post a webhook** dialog, in the **Webhook URL** field, enter the URL where you want to post a webhook request.

5. Click **Save**.

    > [!note]
    > The webhook that you add in a Sitecore Send automation uses the POST HTTP method with a JSON payload type and a [payload JSON schema](http://cdn.stat-track.com/send-to-webhook-context-schema.js) to send data to a third-party system or application.
