# Creating a Webhook Configuration

Creating a webhook configuration in Lucidum is the first step toward sending data from Lucidum to another application or solution.

## Prerequisites

Before defining the webhook configuration in Lucidum, you must first determine the URL that will listen for incoming webhooks on the application or solution.

Usually you can find this information in the API documentation for the solution or application.

If you need assistance, consult your Lucidum Account Executive.
