# How To Generate The Entry Webhook URL

Step-by-Step Guide: Generating an Entry Webhook URL for Options AutoTrader

This guide provides clear, step-by-step instructions on how to generate an entry webhook URL in Options Auto Trader, including how to enable the webhook, select trade entry criteria, and integrate it with third-party platforms like Trading View. It also covers customization options and troubleshooting tips.

### **Step 1: Access the Bot Settings**

1.  Log in to your Options Auto Trader account.
    
2.  Navigate to the bot you want to use.
    
3.  Click on the **gear icon** located in the top right-hand corner of the bot's settings.
    

### **Step 2: Enable Webhook**

1.  Select **Entry Rules** from the settings menu.
    
2.  Locate the setting labeled **Enable Webhook for this Auto Trader**.
    
3.  Toggle the setting to enable it. This action will reveal the **Webhook URL Generator**.
    

### **Step 3: Generate the Webhook URL**

1.  In the Webhook URL Generator, select the desired **action**:
    
    -   For this example, choose **Enter a Trade**.
        
2.  Decide the criteria for the trade entry:
    
    -   **Preset Rules**: The URL will follow the pre-configured settings for strike and entry selection for the selected bot.
        
    -   **Custom Settings**: You can specify the symbol, quantity, expiration, and other trade parameters.
        

### **Step 4: Use the Webhook URL**

1.  Copy the generated **Webhook URL**.
    
2.  If using a third-party platform like Trading View:
    
    -   Paste the URL into the **Webhook URL** field of the Trading View alert setup.
        

### **Step 5: Customizing with a JSON File (Optional)**

1.  For custom trade entries:
    
    -   Delete any pre-filled content in the **Message** field of the third-party platform.
        
    -   Paste the provided JSON file into the **Message** field.
        
2.  Verify that the configuration turns green (indicating it’s set up correctly).
    

### **Step 6: Finalize and Test**

1.  Double-check all settings and configurations.
    
2.  Save your changes.
    
3.  Test the webhook to ensure the trade entry triggers as expected.
