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.) 5. 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. [Additional Macros can be found here.](https://docs.catchpoint.com/docs/legacy-test-data-webhook-macros)
