# Webhooks

> Receive real-time event notifications from Cargado

Webhooks allow Cargado to send real-time notifications to your application when events occur in your account. These notifications are sent as JSON payloads over HTTPS, enabling you to automate workflows and keep your systems in sync.

## Getting Started

1. **Choose Your Events**
   * Review the [Event Types](/api-reference/events) documentation
   * Select which events you want to monitor

2. **Register Your Webhook**
   * Use the UI in the Cargado webhooks integration settings: [Production](https://app.cargado.com/profile/integrations/webhooks) or [Sandbox](https://app.sandbox.cargado.com/profile/integrations/webhooks)
   * Or integrate programmatically via our API
   * Add your endpoint URL where you'll receive notifications

3. **Create Your Endpoint**
   * Set up a public HTTPS POST endpoint
   * Verify the signature of the request to make sure the webhook is from Cargado using [Svix](https://docs.svix.com/receiving/verifying-payloads/how) (optional but recommended)
   * Test locally using [Svix Play](https://play.svix.com) or [Ngrok](https://ngrok.com)
   * Deploy to production once tested
