# Enabling A Repository Webhook Capability

To enable a Webhook for a specific repository, perform the following steps:

1. Select _Capabilities_ to open the _Capabilities_ panel, located in the Settings menu  
2. Click the _Create capability_ button to get to the _Select Capability Type_ table  
3. Select _Webhook: Repository_ to open the _Create Webhook: Repository Capability_ panel  
4. Complete the form by selecting which _Repository_ you’d like to receive events from, select _Event Types_ you’d like to have events sent for, and entering the URL you would like the events to be sent to

This form also includes an option to use a Secret Key for sending your events with a HMAC payload digest.

**Note**  
Nexus Repository Manager Webhooks will provide a sha1 hash of the JSON body using a shared secret key. This allows you to verify the data integrity as well as its authenticity. The JSON body is hashed without whitespace and this hash is provided in the header as `X-Nexus-Webhook-Signature`.

After you enable the capability, you will now see the _Webhook: Repository_ capability in the list of _Capabilities_.
