# Use-cases for outgoing Webhooks

Webhooks can be leveraged in various scenarios. We have put together some common use-cases.

* Building internal custom dashboards to visualize or analyze incidents
* Sending data to ticketing tools, such as Zendesk, Freshdesk, Shortcut, Asana, etc.
* Sending events to communication apps, such as Slack, MS Teams, etc.
* Alerting when a workflow is disrupted- then use the API to re-run the workflow
* Triggering internal notification systems to alert people when incidents are created/resolved
* Building your own automation plug-ins and tools
