About:
Webhook is a lightweight, configurable incoming webhook server that executes shell commands in response to HTTP requests. It allows you to easily create webhooks without writing backend code, making it ideal for CI/CD pipelines and automation workflows. The tool listens for HTTP requests and triggers predefined actions based on the incoming payload.
Key Features:
  • Executes shell commands on incoming HTTP requests
  • Highly configurable rules for different webhook triggers
  • Low resource footprint and easy deployment
  • Supports payload filtering and validation
Use Cases:
  • Triggering CI/CD pipeline builds from version control events
  • Automating deployment processes via HTTP callbacks
  • Sending notifications to chat services or logging systems
Alternatives:
  • ngrok – ngrok exposes local services but doesn't execute commands; webhook focuses on automation
  • FastAPI/Flask – Full web frameworks require coding; webhook uses configuration files
