# Webhook as a personal notification channel

It is possible to setup a webhook as a personal notification channel in your user profile.
The webhook will be triggered as a personal notification rule according to your notification policy configuration.

## Configure a webhook to be used as personal notification

In the webhooks page, you (or a user with the right permissions) need to define a [webhook](ref:outgoing-webhooks) as usual,
but with the `Personal Notification` trigger type.

Each user will then be able to choose a webhook (between those with the above trigger type) as a notification channel in
their profile. Optionally, they can also provide additional context data (as a JSON dict, e.g. `{"user_ID": "some-id"}`)
which will be available when evaluating the webhook templates. This data can be referenced via `{{ event.user.<key> }}`
(e.g. `{{ event.user.user_ID }}`).
