# Create a webhook

`POST https://api.airtable.com/v0/bases/{baseId}/webhooks`

Creates a new webhook in the specified base. Payloads may be generated and the notification URL (if given)
will get a ping shortly after this completes.

The number of webhooks per base is limited to 10. A single OAuth integration can create up to 2 webhooks per base.

Each webhook created with OAuth or personal access token will expire and be disabled after 7 days. The webhook life can be
extended while it is still active by calling [refresh webhook](https://airtable.com/developers/web/api/refresh-a-webhook.md) or [list webhook payloads](https://airtable.com/developers/web/api/list-webhook-payloads.md).
After a webhook has expired and been disabled, the webhook's metadata and past payloads can be accessed for an additional 7 days.

**Creator level permissions are required in order to register a webhook.**
