# New webhook topic: profiles

You can now subscribe to events related to delivery profiles with webhooks.

In the past, changes to a shop’s shipping zones triggered the shop/update webhook, but didn’t include any information about the new zone configuration. To stay current, apps would then have to send a follow up request to the `shipping_zones` endpoint and compare the results with their local copies of the data.

With the release of delivery profiles, we wanted to provide a proper webhook topic for apps that would allow them to avoid these frequent callbacks. As of today, you can now subscribe to the `profile_create`, `profile_update`, and `profile_delete` webhooks.

For more information, see the webhooks topic documentation, our updated delivery profiles guide, and the [2020-10 release notes](https://shopify.dev/concepts/about-apis/versioning/release-notes/2020-10).
