# Receive Webhook/HTTP Events

The Webhook Trigger starts your workflow when an incoming HTTP POST request is received. Use it to integrate with external systems, receive data from third-party apps, or trigger workflows manually via API.

**Receive Webhooks / HTTP Events is the default trigger configured in every new workflow.**

### 1. Activate the Trigger

1.1 Create a workflow.

1.2 Save the workflow to activate the trigger.

Once saved, your unique Trigger URL is automatically generated and visible directly in the trigger module.

### 3. Payload Available to the Workflow

You can define the expected body fields directly in the trigger configuration panel. Click **+ Add** under the **Body** section to add a key and set its type.
