# Webhook usage

## Configuration

Enable webhooks by adding a webhook-section to your configuration file, and setting `webhook.enabled` to `true`.

Sample configuration (tested using IFTTT).

```json
  "webhook": {
        "enabled": true,
        "url": "https://maker.ifttt.com/trigger/<YOUREVENT>/with/key/<YOURKEY>/",
        "webhookbuy": {
            "value1": "Buying {pair}",
            "value2": "limit {limit:8f}",
            "value3": "{stake_amount:8f} {stake_currency}"
        },
        "webhookbuycancel": {
            "value1": "Cancelling Open Buy Order for {pair}",
            "value2": "limit {limit:8f}",
            "value3": "{stake_amount:8f} {stake_currency}"
        },
        "webhooksell": {
            "value1": "Selling {pair}",
            "value2": "limit {limit:8f}",
            "value3": "profit: {profit_amount:8f} {stake_currency} ({profit_ratio})"
        },
        "webhooksellcancel": {
            "value1": "Cancelling Open Sell Order for {pair}",
            "value2": "limit {limit:8f}",
            "value3": "profit: {profit_amount:8f} {stake_currency} ({profit_ratio})"
        },
        "webhookstatus": {
            "value1": "Status: {status}",
            "value2": "",
            "value3": ""
        }
    },
```

The url in `webhook.url` should point to the correct url for your webhook. If you're using [IFTTT](https://ifttt.com) (as shown in the sample above) please insert our event and key to the url.

Different payloads can be configured for different events. Not all fields are necessary, but you should configure at least one of the dicts, otherwise the webhook will never be called.
