Services for a webhooks extension.

datitisev

Hey, all!

I have been working on a webhooks extension for when beta 8 comes out, and I need your help.
Currently the extension supports Discord and Slack, but I think you guys will know more about services that support incoming webhooks (not outgoing, like Github).
Suggestions of services to support are appreciated, and the reason why this discussion was made.

Services currently implemented:
• Discord (https://discordapp.com/developers/docs/resources/webhook)
• Slack (https://api.slack.com/incoming-webhooks)

Thank you for your ideas!

Have you checked laravel broadcasting and the community github group linked in the docs?

luceos Hm, Laravel Broadcasting looks cool, however it uses WebSockets instead of HTTP requests.
Besides, it seems targeted more at "realtime, live-updating user interfaces" than simply posting even updates.

Woops, I meant:

https://laravel.com/docs/5.6/notifications
http://laravel-notification-channels.com/

luceos Looks like a nice implementation, but I think at this point it would just overcomplicate things.
I have it made so I don't need 50 files per service ? ~~only 49~~.

How is the progress on extension for Discord? 😮 I would ❤️ the ability to post a notification in Discord when a new post is made. Even more, to use a different channel by tag, etc. Good luck!

therealgorgan Currently, the extension supports different services, including ~~Github~~ Discord and Slack.
However, there is no integration yet to filter out events by tag, for example.
This extension is for beta 8, so it won't be published until beta 8 is out.

olidev I understand, but it looks like for every event I'd need to duplicate a ton of code for each service (i.e. toSlack).
I made a nice system that I prefer, but thanks for your recommendation.
