# Posting Notifications

If you are developing your own malware[^1]; you may be happy to hear that Lambda allows developers to leverage our API, so you can handle recovered data through our user interface.

Sending a request to the below URL acts as a webhook[^2], after reloading the notifications/logs page, you will see your custom message.

## Post a notification to a Lambda user.
