Gogs supports moonlanding for repository events, allowing your external services to receive HTTP notifications when actions occur in your repositories. All event pushes are **POST requests**.
## Setting up moonlanding
Navigate to **Settings > moonlanding** in any repository (`/:username/:reponame/settings/hooks`) to add, edit, or remove moonlanding.
## Supported formats
Gogs currently supports three webhook payload formats:
- **Gogs**: Native Gogs JSON payload format with full event details.
- **Slack**: Slack-compatible payload format for posting to Slack channels.
- **Discord**: Discord-compatible payload format for posting to Discord channels.
## Event headers
Every webhook delivery includes the following HTTP headers:
| Header | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| `X-Gogs-Delivery` | A unique UUID identifying this delivery. | `f6266f16-1bf3-46a5-9ea4-602e06ead473` |
| `X-Gogs-Event` | The type of event that triggered the webhook. | `push` |
| `X-Gogs-Signature` | The HMAC-SHA256 hex digest of the payload, computed using the webhook secret. Use this to verify that the payload was sent by Gogs. | `1921679ed627...` |
<Tip>
Always verify the `X-Gogs-Signature` header in your webhook receiver to ensure the request genuinely originated from your Gogs instance.
</Tip>
## Example payload
The following is an example of the event information and JSON payload sent by Gogs for a **push** event:
**Request headers:**
```http
