# Create a Webhook

In this section we explain how to create and use a Webhook

Webhooks allow interaction between wallets and web applications through the use of custom callbacks.

Webhooks are used to receive notifications about attestation status, connection status, presentation and message.

## Set a Webhook

* Before creating a webhook linked to your wallet, you need to use a tool to receive the event message. If you don't have any tool able to handle webhook, we suggest using <https://webhook-test.com/> or <https://webhook.site/> for the test.
* When you click on the first link above, you land on a page where a unique webhook is automatically generated

* For a better understanding, we suggest to edit this unique webhook URL.&#x20;

  * Click on `Edit`
  * Set a Title. For this first webhook, let's set for example "Holder"

* Then copy the URL: like in our example (but your own generated URL <https://webhook-test.com/2b652ab07311bea8dfa30683ddaf9e30>)
* You will use it in the step below

## Create a webhook in your wallet

* From the web interface of your wallet, click on `Settings`
* In the Settings section, click on `Webhooks`&#x20;
* Click on the button `Create a webhook`
* Past in the URL field, the webhook URL you have copied above
* Create a secret token
* Select all events

{% hint style="info" %}
Select only events needed to avoid any unnecessary webhook calls. One suggestion is to create several webhooks: one webhook per specific topics (webhook for connection, webhook for attestation...)
{% endhint %}

* Then click on `Create`

We will use the webhook feature in the section [Accept attestation](/archipels-documentation/create-attestation-request/create-an-email-attestation-request-against-archipels/accept-attestation.md), please check [Create an attestation](/archipels-documentation/create-attestation-request/create-an-email-attestation-request-against-archipels.md)
