# 'Webhook' Step - Streamline Complex Data Transfers

The “Webhook” step in ClickFunnels workflows enables you to pass data from ClickFunnels to external applications using a POST request. This is useful when transferring contact details or other relevant information to another system in real-time. In this article, we’ll explore configuring the “Webhook” step and provide an example of the data payload that gets sent.

## Requirements

- An active ClickFunnels account
- A [workflow](/v1/docs/how-to-create-a-workflow) created in your workspace

## Adding the “Webhook” Step to Your Workflow

1. Navigate to the **Automations** app and select **Workflows**.
2. Open an existing workflow or create a new one.
3. Click on the **Plus Icon (+)** in your workflow editor.
4. Select the **Webhook** step under the **Other** category. ![Add Webhook Step](https://cdn.document360.io/e3762771-4bea-47c2-a830-5473d543417a/Images/Documentation/mjisnwruz0wnz4dc_hnadxdfmemnywqemg.png)

## Configuring the “Webhook” Step

Once you’ve added the “Webhook” step, follow these steps to configure it:

1. **Enter the Webhook URL:**
  - You can select an existing webhook URL from the dropdown or enter a new one directly. This is the endpoint where the webhook data will be sent.

  - Ensure that the URL is a valid endpoint capable of receiving **POST requests**.
2. **Create the Payload:**
  - The “Webhook” step sends a **POST request** with a payload containing contact and other relevant information from ClickFunnels.
  - The payload sent to the external system is structured based on ClickFunnels data. You can refer to our [**API documentation**](https://developers.myclickfunnels.com/reference/listteams) for detailed information on the payload structure.

**Example JSON Payload When a Contact is Created:**

```json
{
        "id": 45,
        "public_id": "hknIOD",
        "workspace_id": 42000,
        "email_address": "test-4d7dc24c0744f9e532de@example.com",
        "first_name": "Arielle",
        "last_name": "Fahey",
        "phone_number": "(346) 110-3099 x4556",
        "time_zone": "Pacific Time (US & Canada)",
        "tags": [
          {
            "id": 47,
            "public_id": "PMcSQF",
            "name": "Example Tag",
            "color": "#1c85b2"
          }
        ],
        "custom_attributes": {
          "CustomKey": "MyText"
        }
      }
```
