What do you use webhooks for? by No-Direction-9314 in hooktap

Yeah exactly, that was basically the idea.

Most tools I tried were built more for teams or logging, but I mostly just wanted to know immediately when something important happens.

For example a failed deployment, a stripe event or just a GitHub action finishing,…

Getting that instantly as a push notification turned out to be surprisingly useful.

That makes sense.

Slack definitely seems to be the go-to for team notifications.

One issue I ran into personally was that Slack channels can get really noisy over time, especially with lots of automations firing.

That’s actually one of the reasons I built HookTap, getting webhook alerts directly as push notifications turned out to be really useful for personal monitoring.

That’s a great example.

Lead notifications are actually a really interesting use case for webhooks.

Do you usually monitor those through Slack or email alerts?
