# Create a webhook recipe from template

A webhook recipe will detect and retrieve newly generated Alerts, Stories, or Leads and send the information to a specified destination URL.

**To create a webhook recipe from template:**

****Step 1: Open the required template****

1. From the Hunters menu, navigate to **Workflows > Workflow Manager**. ![image.png](https://cdn.document360.io/5f63f0e0-3c70-4d00-b623-82493be0bde5/Images/Documentation/image%28237%29.png)
2. Under **Projects**, navigate to **Automated Workflows > Automation Templates**. ![image.png](https://cdn.document360.io/5f63f0e0-3c70-4d00-b623-82493be0bde5/Images/Documentation/image%28238%29.png)
3. Locate the recipe you want to create (Alert, Story or Lead), click on the **…** menu and then select **Clone**. This will ensure you don’t override the template so you can use it again in the future. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/5f63f0e0-3c70-4d00-b623-82493be0bde5/Images/Documentation/Create webhook recipe from template - Clone.jpg)
