django-signal-webhooks
Add webhooks to django using signals.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you need to emit webhooks from Django model events and want a low-friction, admin-friendly solution. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, uses permissive licensing, and integrates cleanly with Django 4.2+. Install only if your project already uses Django and you need outbound webhooks; it adds a small dependency footprint and is straightforward to configure.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Django 4.2, 5.0, or 5.1; Python 3.9 or later.
- Low friction: pure Python wheel with six runtime dependencies (Django, asgiref, httpx, cryptography, django-settings-holder, typing-extensions).
- Active maintenance with recent commits; last release 652 days ago but repo shows current activity.

What it is and what it does
Django Signal Webhooks bridges Django model lifecycle events (create, update, delete) to external HTTP endpoints by hooking into Django's signal system. It lets you define which models should trigger webhooks and manage them through Django's admin interface, with optional authentication and customization hooks throughout the sending process.
The package handles the mechanics of serializing model changes, constructing HTTP requests via httpx, and delivering payloads to registered webhook URLs. It relies on cryptography for secure operations and django-settings-holder for configuration management. You configure webhooks declaratively in settings and then manage individual webhook registrations (URLs, authentication, active/inactive state) through the admin panel without code changes.
Use it for
- Notify external systems (CRM, analytics, logging) when Django models change without tight coupling.
- Trigger downstream workflows in microservices when user or order records are created or updated.
- Implement audit trails or event streaming by sending model mutations to a dedicated event service.
- Sync data between Django and third-party SaaS platforms on model changes.
- Build real-time integrations where external tools need to react to Django application events.
