# Setting Up Event-Specific Webhooks

> Send real-time booking data from a specific Cal ID event type to another application using event-level webhooks for granular automation control.

Webhooks send real-time data from Cal ID to another application whenever a booking event occurs. Setting them up at the **Event Type** level gives you fine-grained control, so notifications fire only for the specific meeting you choose.

## Steps to create a webhook for an event type

<Steps>
  <Step title="Access Event Types">
    Log in to your [Cal ID](https://cal.id/home) account and navigate to the **Event Types** tab in your dashboard.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Edit event type">
    Locate the specific event type you want to track, click the **three dots** on its card, and select **Edit**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the Webhooks tab">
    Within the event editor, click on the **Webhooks** tab at the top of the page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add new webhook">
    Click the **+ Create** button.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure webhook details">
    * **Subscriber URL**: Paste the listener URL provided by the application you are sending data to (e.g., Zapier, Pipedream, or your own server).

    * **Secret (optional but recommended)**: Enter a secret key to verify that the payload is authentic and has not been tampered with.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Click the **Create Webhook** button to activate the webhook.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Important considerations

* **Scopes**: Event-type level webhooks trigger only for that specific event. To track all events for a user or team, create a webhook at the **User** or **Team** level instead. To do that, visit [**Webhook in Cal ID**](/docs/developers/webhooks).
* **Team managed events**: For team-managed events, it is highly recommended to create the webhook directly on the **parent event type** within the team dashboard to ensure it captures all bookings.
* **Custom payloads**: You can customize the data structure sent to your URL by using custom payload templates.
