| Image                    | Enter the name of the image. If you're using Docker Hub you can also search for images from here.                                                                                                                                |

| Create a service webhook | Toggle on to create a [webhook](https://docs.portainer.io/user/docker/services/webhooks) for the service. You can send a POST request to this endpoint to automate pulling the most up-to-date image and re-deploy your service. |
