* Hit `Save`

Your GitHub events will now be sent to the webhook URL and saved on your account as [Annotations](https://docs.hostedgraphite.com/api-guides/annotations-and-events-api). Use the following tags to search for the annotations you want to display:

* **Push Event Tags** – ‘github’, ‘push’, \<repo>, \<branch>, \<user>
* **PR Event Tags** – ‘github’, ‘pull-request’, \<action>, \<repo>, \<user>
* **Deploy Event Tags** – ‘github’, ‘deployment’, \<status>, \<repo>, \<user>, \<environment>
