# Create Subscription

> Create a webhook subscription.

Creates a new webhook subscription for an agency. Only the agency owner or an admin can call this endpoint.

You can optionally provide a `secret` to enable HMAC-SHA256 payload signing, which lets your backend verify that incoming payloads genuinely came from Crustocean.

<Info>
  Failed deliveries are retried up to 3 times with exponential backoff.
