GitHub Apps

If you’re using apps that accept incoming webhook connections from GitHub, you can use the GitHub-compatible webhook to send VB Studio event notifications to those apps. The payload will be sent in a format similar to that used by GitHub, so you don’t need to make any changes to your GitHub apps.

See https://developer.github.com/webhooks/ to learn more about GitHub webhooks.
