+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.
+
