# How to add custom request headers to a webhook

## Why add custom request headers?

Adding custom request headers lets you send extra information with the webhook, like security keys or important details the receiving server needs.

## Adding custom request headers

You can customize you request header by pressing the “Add request header”-button. It adds two fields that must contain name and value. The value and name will be included in the request header being sent, when the webhook is triggered.
