# Test Data Webhook Templates

The [Test Data Webhook](/v1/docs/test-data-webhook-guide) features supports Templates, which allow you to format the content of test data being sent to the webhook url however the destination system requires.

## Implementation:

To create a template:

1. Click on the **API** link in the **Settings** module.
2. In the **Test Data Webhook** section select the radio button labeled **Template**, and then click **Select Template**
3. Click **Add New** in the template selection drop-down menu. (Existing templates can be edited in the menu by hovering over the template name and selecting the **Edit/View Properties** icon.)

4. A box will pop up where you can specify the name, format (text, JSON, or XML) for the template and define its contents.

## Macros

Test Data Webhook Macros are text strings in this format: `${macro_name}`

At runtime, when data is sent to the webhook, each macro in your template will be replaced with the corresponding value generated by Catchpoint. For example, the macro `${testurl}` would be replaced with the Test URL configured in your test that generated the data.

Using a template completely replaces the default JSON or XML payload. If you want to include the default payload in your template, you can do so using the following macros:

**${JsonPayload}** - the default JSON payload sent by the Webhook when not using a template. **${XmlPayload}** - the default XML payload sent by the Webhook when not using a template.
