# Webhooks

## Introduction

A webhook subscription allows to receive real-time notifications whenever specific events occur. Instead of constantly polling an API to check for updates, the system automatically sends event data to a predefined URL (the webhook endpoint). 

The subscription is valid for 91 days. During this period, you'll receive notifications about all changes in the selected employee profiles.

## Manage the subscriptions

There are additional endpoints for subscription management. Use them to list your active subscriptions, see the details, renew subscriptions and delete irrelevant ones.

## Try the feature

Still not sure if this feature is right for you? Use `/v2/subscriptions/simulate` endpoint to simulate an active webhook subscription.

<table data-view="cards"><thead><tr><th></th><th data-hidden data-card-target data-type="content-ref"></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Simulate a subscription</td><td><a href="/pages/hhDrz41ec7kqlb11hGgL">/pages/hhDrz41ec7kqlb11hGgL</a></td></tr></tbody></table>

## Credits

Subscription requests do not consume credits like regular Employee APIs.

The subscription feature is only accessible to users of higher-tier API plans. To learn more about accessing this feature, contact your account manager.
