# Webhooks

With a webhook, you can send gifts from your own system, even when there is no direct integration with Thanqs. A webhook is a simple way to automatically send data to Thanqs as soon as something happens in your own system. This means you decide when a gift should be sent, for example when a quote is approved or a project is completed.

## Using webhooks
Using webhooks requires technical knowledge. For every automation you create in Thanqs, you can choose Webhook as a source. Each automation has its own unique webhook URL.

Follow the steps below to make sure the webhook works correctly.

## 1. Use the correct URL
Copy the URL shown in the *Source* step after selecting *Webhook*.

## 2. Add the correct data
When sending the webhook, make sure to include a JSON payload with the required data, such as the recipient’s name and email address. The data you send can be used in the template. You can find all available data at [https://api.thanqs.app/webhook-docs](https://api.thanqs.app/webhook-docs).

## 3. Send a POST request
Use the URL in a POST request from your own system or tool each time you want to start the automation.
