# Payload Templates

## **Overview**

**Payload Templates** allow administrators to customize the **JSON format** of webhook requests sent by EnGenius Cloud.

With Payload Templates, EnGenius Cloud automatically maps event data into the format required by your webhook server, making it easier to integrate alerts with SIEM platforms, messaging services, automation workflows, and third-party monitoring platforms.

EnGenius Cloud provides the following default template:

* **EnGenius Standard**

Administrators can also create additional templates for different integration requirements.

**Navigation:**\
CONFIGURE → Alerts → Network → Webhooks → Payload Templates

## **Getting start - Using a Payload Template**

To use a Payload Template:

1. Go to Configure → Alerts → Network
2. Create or edit a Webhook HTTPS Receiver
3. Select a **Payload Template**
4. Save the configuration

After a Payload Template is assigned, all subscribed alerts sent to the configured **HTTPS receiver** will use the selected template format.

This allows different webhook receivers to use **different JSON structures and HTTP headers** based on integration requirements.
