# POST /notification-settings

**Create a notification setting**

Creates a new notification setting (notification destination).

Pass an array of event type names to `subscribed_events` to say which events you'd like to subscribe to. Paddle responds with the full event type object for each event type.

If successful, your response includes a copy of the new notification setting entity. Use the returned `endpoint_secret_key` for webhook signature verification.

**Required permissions:** `notification_setting.write`

## Request body

- `description`: string (required) — Short description for this notification destination. Shown in the Paddle Dashboard. (Length: 1–500)
- `type`: string (required) — Where notifications should be sent for this destination.
- `destination`: string (required) — Webhook endpoint URL or email address. (Length: 1–2048)
- `api_version`: integer — API version that returned objects for events should conform to. Must be a valid version of the Paddle API. Can't be a version older than your account default. If omitted, defaults to your account default version. (Min: 1)
- `include_sensitive_fields`: boolean — Whether potentially sensitive fields should be sent to this notification destination. If omitted, defaults to `false`.
- `subscribed_events`: array (required) — Subscribed events for this notification destination. When creating or updating a notification destination, pass an array of event type names only. Paddle returns the complete event type object.
- `traffic_source`: string — Whether Paddle should deliver real platform events, simulation events or both to this notification destination. If omitted, defaults to `platform`.
