# Webhooks Introduction
Introduced from release v10.4 this feature enables users, through the Xytech UI, to configure triggers that send API payloads to external Web service endpoints. This mechanism allows external systems to initiate workflows based on Xytech-generated trigger events.
This feature enhances the existing Event Trigger functionality by adding a new notification type. Setup items:
* Outbound connection - Stores the connectivity details of the external endpoint
* Export Adaptor - Stores one or more endpoints for an Outbound Connection
* Event Trigger - Trigger condition, payload structure and fields used to dynamically generate the JSON or XML payload to send to an Export Adaptor's endpoint.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://knowledgebase.fabricdata.com/xytech/webhooks/index.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
