# WebhookSubscription - admin-graphql - OBJECT
Version: 2025-01

## Description
A webhook subscription is a persisted data object created by an app using the REST Admin API or GraphQL Admin API.
It describes the topic that the app wants to receive, and a destination where Shopify should send webhooks of the specified topic.
When an event for a given topic occurs, the webhook subscription sends a relevant payload to the destination.
Learn more about the [webhooks system](https://shopify.dev/apps/webhooks).
