# Getting Started

This section walks you through everything you need to begin using webhooks in UseStencil, from setting up your first webhook endpoint to verifying and testing the `image.created` event.

## Prerequisites

Before configuring your first webhook, make sure you have the following:

* An active UseStencil [paid subscription](https://www.usestencil.com/pricing) with access to the project or workspace where image creation events occur.
* A publicly accessible HTTPS endpoint that can receive POST requests.
* (Optional) A tool like [webhook.site](https://webhook.site) or [RequestBin](https://requestbin.com/) if you're testing without a live backend.
* (Optional) Your own authentication mechanism (e.g., API key, secret token) to embed into the webhook payload or headers
