What are webhooks?

Outbound HTTP callbacks that notify your systems when a scan completes or a finding appears.

By Cláudia FernandesUpdated 2026-10-02

Webhooks invert the integration: instead of polling an API for changes, your systems get told. That is how findings reach a Slack channel, open a Jira ticket, or trigger an incident workflow within seconds.

For anything time-sensitive, such as a critical vulnerability in a production service, push beats poll. Check the delivery guarantees, because a silently dropped webhook is an alert nobody knows they missed.

What to look for

Which events can be subscribed to, and at what granularity
Retry behavior and delivery guarantees
Payload signing so receivers can verify authenticity
Whether payloads carry enough detail to avoid an API round-trip

Best 19 code quality, security and code review tools with webhooks

Every tool in the directory whose documentation covers this, 11 fully and 8 partially. Full support is shown first. Shown in a random order that changes on every visit, so no tool gets an advantage from its position.

Support is not the same as parity, since some implementations are narrower in scope, gated to a higher plan tier, or maintained only for existing customers. The note under each tool is what its own documentation describes.
