# Using Webhooks to connect to third-party platforms

Using Webhooks to connect to third-party platforms

Webhooks in Kourses allow you to easily integrate with external platforms to add or remove members from a membership inside your Kourses website.

To access the webhooks options, go to Memberships inside your Kourses account and select a membership you wish to add members to.

Next click the "Integrations" tab to view all integrations options, and select Webhooks:

On the webhooks screen you'll see two main options:

**Activation URL** and **Deactivation URL**

These correspond to actions which will either ADD or REMOVE members from this membership.

## How to use a webhook to add or remove a member

To use a webhook, you'll need a platform that can send a HTTP POST request to an external URL and include some specific query parameters.

When you send the request to the webhook URL, you must include three parameters:

-   first\_name - First name of your member
    
-   last\_name - Last name of your member
    
-   email - Email address of your member
    

If you do not send all three paramters, the webhook will not work and a member will not be added or removed.

**Note:** if you don't know the last name of the member you're adding, you can always send a period "." to set their last name to this and they will be added
