About integration with code scanning
{% data reusables.code-scanning.enterprise-enable-code-scanning %}
As an alternative to running {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning %} within {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}, you can perform analysis elsewhere, using the CodeQL CLI or another static analysis tool, and then upload the results. For more information, see AUTOTITLE.

Integrations with webhooks
You can use {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning %} webhooks to build or configure integrations, such as {% data variables.product.prodname_github_apps %} or {% data variables.product.prodname_oauth_apps %}, that subscribe to {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning %} events in your repository. For example, you could build an integration that creates an issue on {% data variables.product.github %} or sends you a Slack notification when a new {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning %} alert is added in your repository.
