# Custom Endpoint

Custom Endpoint lets you send a Brewfather **Batch JSON** export directly to your own URL.

## Enable it

1. Open **Settings → Power-ups**.
2. Enable **Custom Endpoint**.
3. Enter your endpoint URL in **Https URL to receive Batch JSON Export POST**.
4. (Optional) Enable **Send method DELETE before POST**.

## Endpoint requirements

* Use an **HTTPS** endpoint URL.
* The endpoint should support **CORS** ([Cross-Origin Resource Sharing](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS)).
* Brewfather sends JSON containing full batch and recipe data.
* This is useful for custom automation (for example, an [IFTTT](https://ifttt.com/) webhook).

## Send batch JSON

After enabling Custom Endpoint, Brewfather adds send options in the batch view:

* Header button: **Send JSON**
* Export action sheet: **Send Batch JSON**

Brewfather sends the payload to your configured URL with `Content-Type: application/json`.

If **Send method DELETE before POST** is enabled, Brewfather will call `DELETE` first, then `POST`.

## Notes

* Custom Endpoint is Premium-gated in the current app flow.
* If no endpoint URL is set, Brewfather skips sending.
* Success/failure is shown in-app with toast messages.
