# Webhook Server documentation

Webhook Server is a Windows service that runs a script (PowerShell, cmd, or any executable) when an HTTP request hits a URL you choose. It's designed for sysadmins who want to wire a tool like Zerto pre/post scripts, GitHub Actions, a monitoring system, or a backup tool into a Windows-side automation step — without writing a custom listener every time.

Recipes (cookbook style)

The flagship Zerto recipe also ships with a ready-to-use Zerto-side post-script at scripts/examples/zerto-post-failover.ps1.
