 The key value used to identify the callback object is an expression, evaluated at runtime, that identifies a URL to use for the callback operation.

-##### Callback Object Example
+##### Callback Object Examples
 
-The following example shows a callback to the URL specified by the `id` and `email` property in the request body.
+The following example uses the user provided `queryUrl` query string parameter to define the callback URL. This is an example of how to use a callback object to describe a callback that goes with the subscription operation to enable registering for the callback.
 
 ```yaml
-myWebhook:
-  'https://notificationServer.com?transactionId={$request.body#/id}&email={$request.body#/email}':
+myCallback:
+  '{$request.query.queryUrl}':
     post:
       requestBody:
         description: Callback payload
-        content: 
+        content:
           'application/json':

               $ref: '#/components/schemas/SomePayload'
       responses:
         '200':
-          description: webhook successfully processed and no retries will be performed
+          description: callback successfully processed
 ```
 
+The following example shows a callback where the server is hard-coded, but the query string parameters are populated from the `id` and `email` property in the request body.
+
+```yaml
+transactionCallback:
+  'http://notificationServer.com?transactionId={$request.body#/id}&email={$request.body#/email}':
+    post:
