# Web hooks

3
Project web hooks allow you to trigger an URL if new code is pushed or a new issue is created.
4

5
You can configure web hooks to listen for specific events like pushes, issues or merge requests. GitLab will send a POST request with data to the web hook URL.
6

7
Web hooks can be used to update an external issue tracker, trigger CI builds, update a backup mirror, or even deploy to your production server.

If you have a big set of projects in the one group then it will be convenient for you to configure web hooks globally for the whole group. You can add the group level web hooks on the group settings page.
10

11
If you send a web hook to an SSL endpoint [the certificate will not be verified](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/ccd617e58ea71c42b6b073e692447d0fe3c00be6/app/models/web_hook.rb#L35) since many people use self-signed certificates.

#### Example webhook receiver

If you want to see GitLab's webhooks in action for testing purposes you can use
a simple echo script running in a console session.

Save the following file as `print_http_body.rb`.

```ruby
require 'webrick'

513
server = WEBrick::HTTPServer.new(:Port => ARGV.first)
514 515 516 517
server.mount_proc '/' do |req, res|
  puts req.body
end

518 519 520
trap 'INT' do 
  server.shutdown 
end
521 522 523 524 525 526 527 528 529 530 531
server.start
```

Pick an unused port (e.g. 8000) and start the script: `ruby print_http_body.rb
8000`.  Then add your server as a webhook receiver in GitLab as
`http://my.host:8000/`.

When you press 'Test Hook' in GitLab, you should see something like this in the console.
