4.  Modify the copied Webhook URL to reflect your tool details, and paste the URL in GitHub.

    For example:

    `https://myinstance.service-now.com/api/sn_devops/v2/devops/tool/{code | plan | artifact | orchestration | test | softwarequality }?toolId=23410545938c71d0db5bfe686cba1036`

    1.  Select one of the tool capabilities `{code | plan | artifact | orchestration | test | softwarequality }` to match your tool.

        For example:

        `https://myinstance.service-now.com/api/sn_devops/v2/devops/tool/orchestration?toolId=23410545938c71d0db5bfe686cba1036`

    2.  Copy the modified Webhook URL to the **Payload URL** field of the new webhook in GitHub.

5.  In DevOps Change Velocity, copy the **Secret token** field from the ServiceNow instance connection details for GitHub, and paste in the **Secret** field of the new webhook in GitHub.

    |From DevOps Change Velocity field|To GitHub field|
    |---------------------------------|---------------|
    |Webhook URL \(modified\)|Payload URL|
    |Secret token|Secret|
