# Customizable Webhook Headers

We've added a new "headers" parameter to channel settings, allowing you to set custom headers in callbacks. This enhancement in the "/settings" endpoint offers greater flexibility and control. Now you will be able to add any custom header and token to increase security.\
\
**Note:** Custom headers can only be configured via API. The panel UI does not support this setting.
