Where to create webhooks?

Hi,

This is a very basic question I know - apologies! - but I have not yet found a good answer by scouring google results and this community's questions/answers.

I am new to Canvas, and my organization would like to find a way to send info from an event (specifically the entering of a final grade in a course, to signal course completion for a student) to Zapier via webhooks in order to then pass that info on automatically to where we need it to go. It is very burdensome doing this manually as we are at the moment.

Is this an involved task? Do we need to create an external app in order to have somewhere for the webhook code to live in our account, so Canvas can pass that info along automatically whenever students finish a course? I am trying to wrap my brain around how to provide the webhook/authorization tokens/etc etc to Canvas in the simplest manner possible.

Thank you in advance!
