# Overview

**EnGenius Webhooks** provide a lightweight and efficient way to deliver **real-time** network event notifications from EnGenius Cloud to external systems. Instead of continuously polling APIs to check for updates, administrators can **configure subscribed Webhook Servers (HTTPS servers)** to automatically receive **HTTPS POST requests** whenever predefined events occur.

These event notifications are sent to unique subscribed URLs, where they can be processed, stored, analyzed, or used to trigger automated workflows. This enables seamless integration between EnGenius Cloud and third-party platforms such as:

* Automation platforms (*e.g., workflow automation, ticket creation, device remediation*)
* Monitoring systems (*e.g., centralized event monitoring and alert dashboards*)
* SIEM platforms (*e.g., security event collection and threat analysis*)
* Collaboration platforms (*e.g., Slack, Microsoft Teams for real-time notifications*)
* Custom applications (*e.g., internal dashboards, reporting systems, or IT management tools*)

All webhook communications are transmitted through **secure HTTPS connections (TLS 1.2+)**. For enhanced security, optional **HMAC-SHA256** signature verification is also supported to validate webhook authenticity and payload integrity.

With webhook-based event delivery, organizations can simplify operational workflows, accelerate incident response, and integrate EnGenius Cloud events directly into existing IT management and automation ecosystems.

For a comprehensive list of supported events, please refer to the [Webhook Sample Alerts ](/webhook/webhook-sample-alerts.md)section of this document.
