7. Configure event forwarding
8. Under Send Events, make sure the toggle is enabled ("Events are sent to Webhook") if you want to stream events to the webhook. When enabled, events are automatically forwarded to the webhook when they're ingested in Amplitude. Events aren't sent on a schedule or on-demand using this integration.
9. Define the event payload you want to receive in the webhook. You can choose to:
   1. Send the default Amplitude payload which follows the Amplitude event format.
   2. Customize the payload using an Apache FreeMarker template. See more details below.
      In Select and filter events choose which events you want to send. Choose only the events you need in the webhook. Transformed events aren't supported.
10. Configure user forwarding
    Under Send Users, make sure the toggle is enabled ("Users are sent to Webhook") if you want to stream users and their properties to the webhook. When enabled, users are sent to the webhook when an event is sent to Amplitude. Amplitude Identify API calls are also forwarded to the webhook. Users aren't sent on a schedule or on-demand using this integration.
11. Define the user payload you want to receive in the webhook. You can choose to:
    1. Send the default Amplitude payload which follows the Amplitude user format.
    2. Customize the payload using an Apache FreeMarker template. See more details below.
