# Webhooks overview

> Receive asynchronous Amplify resource updates.

Webhooks notify your application when an Amplify resource changes. Each request contains the event type, occurrence time, and event-specific resource data.

  Configure and test a webhook from the Amplify dashboard.

Your endpoint should:

1. Accept HTTPS `POST` requests with JSON bodies.
2. Return a successful `2xx` response after accepting an event.
3. Process events asynchronously when work may take time.
4. Store `event_id` values to prevent duplicate processing.

<Warning>
  Amplify v1 does not currently provide webhook signatures. Use a private, difficult-to-guess HTTPS endpoint and apply network controls where possible.
