# Send alarms using simple webhooks

A webhook (also called a web callback) is a way for an app to provide other applications with real-time information. In other words**,** webhooks are web-based events that have the ability to trigger an action, i.e. it is the simplest way of getting an alert when something happens in another system. 

From an architecture perspective, webhooks are HTTP callback points that are defined by the user. They allow you to register an https\:// URL where the **event data** can be stored in [**JSON**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON) **or** XML formats. After that, you will be able to do what you want with the data you retrieve and store from a certain event.

To generate an alarm via a webhook in evalink talos, go to the bottom of your Dashboard and click on the`Manage Integrations`option.
