### Webhook integration
Superset can send alert and report notifications to any HTTP endpoint — useful for chat platforms, incident management tools, or custom automation.
#### Enabling Webhooks
Enable the feature flag in `superset_config.py`:
```python
FEATURE_FLAGS = {
"ALERT_REPORTS": True,
"ALERT_REPORT_WEBHOOK": True,
}
```
#### Configuring a Webhook Recipient
When creating or editing an alert or report, select **Webhook** as the notification method and enter your endpoint URL.
#### Payload Format
Superset sends an HTTP POST with `Content-Type: application/json`:
```json
{
"name": "My Alert",
"header": {
"notification_format": "JSON",
"notification_type": "Alert",
"notification_source": "Alert",
"chart_id": 42,
"dashboard_id": null
},
"text": "Alert condition met: value exceeded threshold",
"description": "Monthly revenue dropped below target",
"url": "https://your-superset-host/superset/dashboard/1/"
}
```
When a report includes file attachments (CSV, PDF, or PNG screenshots), the request is sent as `multipart/form-data` instead. In that case, each top-level payload field (`name`, `text`, `description`, `url`) becomes its own form field, and nested structures like `header` are serialized as a JSON-encoded string in their own field. Every attachment is added as a repeated form field named `files`:
```
POST /webhook HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=...
--...
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="name"
My Alert
--...
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="header"
{"notification_format": "JSON", "notification_type": "Alert", ...}
--...
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="text"
Alert condition met: value exceeded threshold
--...
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="files"; filename="report.csv"
Content-Type: text/csv
<file bytes>
--...
```
Webhook consumers should branch on `Content-Type`: parse the body as JSON when `application/json`, or read the individual form fields (decoding `header` as JSON) when `multipart/form-data`.
#### HTTPS Enforcement
To require HTTPS webhook URLs (recommended for production), set:
```python
ALERT_REPORTS_WEBHOOK_HTTPS_ONLY = True
```
When enabled, Superset rejects webhook configurations that use `http://` URLs.
#### Retry Behavior
Superset automatically retries webhook deliveries on `429 Too Many Requests` and `5xx` server errors using exponential backoff.
### Kubernetes-specific
- You must have a `celery beat` pod running. If you're using the chart included in the GitHub repository under [helm/superset](https://github.com/apache/superset/tree/master/helm/superset), you need to put `supersetCeleryBeat.enabled = true` in your values override.
