-# Incoming Webhooks
-
-With incoming webhooks practically any external source - once given a URL by you - can post a message to any channel you have access to. This is done through a HTTP POST request with a simple JSON payload. The payload can contain some text, and some simple options to allow the external source to customize the post.
-
-## Creating the Webhook URL
-
-To get the incoming webhook URL - where all the HTTP requests will be sent - follow these steps:
-
-1. Login to your Mattermost account.
-2. Open the menu by clicking near your profile picture in the top-left and open Account Settings.
-3. Go to the Integrations tab and click the 'Edit' button next to 'Incoming Webhooks'.
-4. Use the selector to choose a channel and click the 'Add' button to create the webhook.
-5. Your webhook URL will be displayed below in the 'Existing incoming webhooks' section.
-
-
-## Posting a Message
-
-You can send the message by including a JSON string as the `payload` parameter in a HTTP POST request.
-```
-payload={"text": "Hello, this is some text."}
-```
-
-In addition, if `Content-Type` is specified as `application/json` in the headers of the HTTP request then the body of the request can be direct JSON.
-```
-{"text": "Hello, this is some text."}
-```
-
-It is also possible to post richly formatted messages using [Markdown](../../help/enduser/markdown.md).
-```
-payload={"text": "# A Header\nThe _text_ below **the** header."}
-```
-
-Just like regular posts, the text will be limited to 4000 characters at maximum.
-
-## Adding Links
-
-In addition to including links in the standard Markdown format, links can also be specified by enclosing the URL in `<>` brackets
-```
-payload={"text": "<http://www.mattermost.com/>"}
-```
-
-They can also include a `|` character to specify some clickable text.
-```
-payload={"text": "Click <http://www.mattermost.com/|here> for a link."}
-```
-
-## Channel Override
-
-You can use a single webhook URL to post messages to different channels by overriding the channel. You can do this by adding the channel name - as it is seen in the channel URL - to the request payload.
-```
-payload={"channel": "off-topic", "text": "Hello, this is some text."}
-```
-
-## Finishing up
-
-Combining everything above, here is an example message made using a curl command:
-
-```
-curl -i -X POST 'payload={"channel": "off-topic", "text": "Hello, this is some text."}' http://yourmattermost.com/hooks/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
-```
-
-A post with that text will be made to the Off-Topic channel.
