Preview the New Organization Webhooks API

Today we’re very excited to announce Organization Webhooks. Organization Webhooks allow you to subscribe to events that happen across an entire organization.

In addition to being able to subscribe to the existing repository oriented events across an organization, we’re also adding some new events which are exclusive to organization webhooks. The new repository event allows you to receive webhook payloads when a new repository is created. By subscribing to the membership event, you’ll be notified whenever a user is added or removed from a team.

We’re making this new API for Organization Webhooks available today for developers to preview. The preview period will allow us to get your feedback before declaring the Organization Webhooks API final. We expect the preview period to last for roughly 30-60 days.

As we discover opportunities to improve the API during the preview period, we may ship changes that break clients using the preview version of the API. We want to iterate quickly. To do so, we will announce any changes here (on the developer blog), but we will not provide any advance notice.

At the end of preview period, the Organization Webhooks API will become an official component of GitHub API v3. At that point, the new Organization Webhooks API will be stable and suitable for production use.

We hope you’ll take it for a spin and send us your feedback.
