# CreateWebhook
<a name="API_CreateWebhook"></a>

For an existing AWS CodeBuild build project that has its source code stored in a GitHub or Bitbucket repository, enables AWS CodeBuild to start rebuilding the source code every time a code change is pushed to the repository.

**Important**  
If you enable webhooks for an AWS CodeBuild project, and the project is used as a build step in CodePipeline, then two identical builds are created for each commit. One build is triggered through webhooks, and one through CodePipeline. Because billing is on a per-build basis, you are billed for both builds. Therefore, if you are using CodePipeline, we recommend that you disable webhooks in AWS CodeBuild. In the AWS CodeBuild console, clear the Webhook box. For more information, see step 5 in [Change a Build Project's Settings](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codebuild/latest/userguide/change-project.html#change-project-console).

## Request Parameters
<a name="API_CreateWebhook_RequestParameters"></a>

For information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see [Common Parameters](CommonParameters.md).

The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

**Note**  
In the following list, the required parameters are described first.

 ** [projectName](#API_CreateWebhook_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="CodeBuild-CreateWebhook-request-projectName"></a>
The name of the AWS CodeBuild project.  
Type: String  
Length Constraints: Minimum length of 2. Maximum length of 150.  
Pattern: `[A-Za-z0-9][A-Za-z0-9\-_]{1,149}`   
Required: Yes

 ** [branchFilter](#API_CreateWebhook_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="CodeBuild-CreateWebhook-request-branchFilter"></a>
A regular expression used to determine which repository branches are built when a webhook is triggered. If the name of a branch matches the regular expression, then it is built. If `branchFilter` is empty, then all branches are built.  
It is recommended that you use `filterGroups` instead of `branchFilter`. 
Type: String  
Required: No

 ** [buildType](#API_CreateWebhook_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="CodeBuild-CreateWebhook-request-buildType"></a>
Specifies the type of build this webhook will trigger.  
 `RUNNER_BUILDKITE_BUILD` is only available for `NO_SOURCE` source type projects configured for Buildkite runner builds. For more information about CodeBuild-hosted Buildkite runner builds, see [Tutorial: Configure a CodeBuild-hosted Buildkite runner](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codebuild/latest/userguide/sample-runner-buildkite.html) in the * AWS CodeBuild user guide*.
Type: String  
Valid Values: `BUILD | BUILD_BATCH | RUNNER_BUILDKITE_BUILD`   
Required: No

 ** [filterGroups](#API_CreateWebhook_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="CodeBuild-CreateWebhook-request-filterGroups"></a>
An array of arrays of `WebhookFilter` objects used to determine which webhooks are triggered. At least one `WebhookFilter` in the array must specify `EVENT` as its `type`.   
For a build to be triggered, at least one filter group in the `filterGroups` array must pass. For a filter group to pass, each of its filters must pass.   
Type: Array of arrays of [WebhookFilter](API_WebhookFilter.md) objects  
Required: No

 ** [manualCreation](#API_CreateWebhook_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="CodeBuild-CreateWebhook-request-manualCreation"></a>
If manualCreation is true, CodeBuild doesn't create a webhook in GitHub and instead returns `payloadUrl` and `secret` values for the webhook. The `payloadUrl` and `secret` values in the output can be used to manually create a webhook within GitHub.  
 `manualCreation` is only available for GitHub webhooks.
Type: Boolean  
Required: No

 ** [pullRequestBuildPolicy](#API_CreateWebhook_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="CodeBuild-CreateWebhook-request-pullRequestBuildPolicy"></a>
A PullRequestBuildPolicy object that defines comment-based approval requirements for triggering builds on pull requests. This policy helps control when automated builds are executed based on contributor permissions and approval workflows.  
Type: [PullRequestBuildPolicy](API_PullRequestBuildPolicy.md) object  
Required: No

 ** [scopeConfiguration](#API_CreateWebhook_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="CodeBuild-CreateWebhook-request-scopeConfiguration"></a>
The scope configuration for global or organization webhooks.  
Global or organization webhooks are only available for GitHub and Github Enterprise webhooks.
Type: [ScopeConfiguration](API_ScopeConfiguration.md) object  
Required: No
