-The webhook request can be retried by specifying a positive integer in the `retries` field.
+Options:
+* retries: The webhook request can be retried by specifying a positive integer in the `retries` field. This helps ensure reliability if the webhook fails due to transient network issues.
+
+* disableTls: Set `disableTls` to `true` in the webhook spec to bypass TLS verification. This is useful in cases where the target service uses self-signed certificates, or you need to connect to an insecure service for testing purposes.
