# Cosmic Webhooks
Cosmic makes it easy to add Webhooks to trigger a POST request to the endpoint of your choice when an event occurs in your Bucket. This is great for integrating static site rebuilds whenever content is changed, or adding third-party integrations like notifying your team on Slack whenever content has been added.
# Format
All requests to your endpoint are sent via POST with Header and Body information. For example:
# Example Header
{
"content-length": "450", // Your content length
"x-cosmicjs-event": "object.edited.draft", // Your event key (see below)
"accept": "application/json",
"content-type": "application/json"
}
# Example Body
{
"type": "object.edited.draft",
"created_at": 1576861549889,
"data": {
"_id": "5dfcff5d6340c9000865cc25",
"slug": "my-awesome-title",
"title": "My Awesome Title",
"content": "<p>My awesome content</p>",
"metafields":[],
"modified_at": "2019-12-20T17:05:49.879Z",
"modified_by": "56d66b2f903a79b904000001",
"type_slug": "tests",
"status": "draft",
"publish_at": null,
"bucket": "5df644188e47080008e7721a",
