Generic webhook

A generic webhook is a simple HTTP access point using POST.

Format

By default, the article is sent as a JSON with the following format:

{
  "title": "The title",
  "text": "Text content (the summary)",
  "html": "HTML content",
  "url": "origin URL of the article",
  "image": "URL of the article illustration",
  "published_at": "article publication date"
}

It is possible to personalize the content sent.

You can specify its type:

• JSON
• HTML
• or Text

And you can specify its format using the Golang templates syntax.

To make it simple, you can access the JSON document properties above but prefix them with a dot and a capital letter between two brackets. For example, the title property can be accessed with the {{.Title}} syntax.
