title: pubSubWebhookSubscriptionCreate - GraphQL Admin
description: >-
  Creates a webhook subscription that notifies your

  [`App`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/App) when

  specific events occur in a shop. Webhooks push event data to your endpoint

  immediately when changes happen, eliminating the need for polling.


  This mutation configures webhook delivery to a Google Cloud Pub/Sub topic. You

  can filter events using [Shopify API search

  syntax](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/usage/search-syntax) to receive only

  relevant webhooks, control which data fields are included in webhook payloads,

  and specify metafield namespaces to include.


  > Note:

  > The Webhooks API version [configured in your
  app](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/webhooks/subscribe/use-newer-api-version)

  determines the API version for webhook events. You can't specify it per
  subscription.



  Building an app? If you only use app-specific webhooks, you won't need this.

  App-specific webhook subscriptions specified in your `shopify.app.toml` may be

  easier. They are automatically kept up to date by Shopify & require less

  maintenance. Please read [About managing webhook

  subscriptions](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/webhooks/subscribe).
