# Configuration

## General information

In addition to e-mail and **Slack**, you can use any webhook-enabled portal to receive notifications from the **GitProtect** system. For webhooks, configuration is limited to providing the webhook URL— by default, the system sends reports for all completed backups. The **POST** request sent by **GitProtect** to the specified webhook URL contains details such as the plan ID, plan name, execution times, and other relevant information.

{% hint style="danger" %}
The **POST** requests sent by **GitProtect** have a fixed format that **cannot be changed**. If the system you want to use for receiving notifications requires a different format, it cannot be configured to accept **GitProtect** notifications.
{% endhint %}

## Notifications setup

{% step %}
Login to **GitProtect Management Service**, go to ⚙ **Settings** and click **Webhooks** to open the settings.
