title: Creating Releases using Webhooks
## What does this mean?
ContentDB offers the ability to automatically create releases using webhooks
from either Github or Gitlab. If you're not using either of those services,
you can also use the [API](../api) to create releases.
The process is as follows:
1. The user creates an API Token and a webhook to use it. This can be done automatically
for Github.
2. The user pushes a commit to the git host (Gitlab or Github).
3. The git host posts a webhook notification to ContentDB, using the API token assigned to it.
4. ContentDB checks the API token and issues a new releases.
