As an Azure DevTest Labs lab owner, you can configure a schedule to shut down all the virtual machines (VMs) in your lab at a specific time of day or night. You save the cost of running machines that aren't being used.

You can also set a central autoshutdown policy to control whether lab users can schedule autoshutdown for their own individual VMs. Autoshutdown policies range from allowing VM owners to fully control their VM's shutdown schedules to allowing them no control over the schedules.

When you enable notifications in autoshutdown configuration, lab users receive a notification 30 minutes before autoshutdown if any of their VMs will be affected. The notification gives users a chance to save their work before the shutdown. If the autoshutdown settings specify an email address, the notification sends to that email address. If the settings specify a webhook, the notification sends to the webhook URL.

You can use webhooks to implement your own notifications. You set up integrations that subscribe to certain events. When one of those events happens, an HTTP POST payload sends to the webhook's URL.

Apps like [Azure Logic Apps](../logic-apps/logic-apps-overview.md) and Slack have extensive support for webhooks.
