Configure a Webhook in GitHub Enterprise

After the 25.3.9 release, the structure of the webhook payload URL was updated. Customers need to update the webhook URL in the repository settings of their remote repo. Some customers are still using the old webhook URL containing autorabitrest, which should now be replaced with api.

Example:

Old URL: https://na25.autorabit.com/autorabitrest/webhook/triggerSCMPushrequest

Updated URL: https://na25.autorabit.com/api/webhook/triggerSCMPushrequest

Unless you update the Payload URL, you might face pull request/trigger build-on-commit jobs triggering.
