This bug is the discussion for the WebHooks design.

**Design requirements:**

* Don't leak information about security bugs
* Leverage existing infrastructure for notifications
* Keep it simple

Remember that a WebHook is a URL which an application will POST to on a given event. 

A user should be able to set a WebHook URL for a change to a bug or a bug list.

In order to address security concerns, the payload sent to the WebHook's endpoint should be the bug id(s), and the consumer will be responsible for fetching the change.

**Scope questions:**

* Can a user set a WebHook for a product or component so they are notified about new bugs?
* Can a user set up a WebHook through an API (this would be useful for many of our client applications)

A user should be able to set a WebHook URL for a change to a bug or a bug list.

In order to address security concerns, the payload sent to the WebHook's endpoint should be minimal, and the consumer will be responsible for fetching the change.
