# Create Employee Event

> POSTs a request upon creation of an employee in the Zeal dashboard.

This endpoint specifies what will be sent to your Create Employee Webhook. Zeal POSTs a request containing an [The Employee Object](/reference/employees/the-employee-object) once the employee has been created in the dashboard. You can update the webhook URL you want Zeal to hit on the 'API' page of the Zeal Dashboard.
