XF 2.3 users, what webhooks do you currently have?

[rdn]

Just curious what you guys run using the new XF 2.3 feature, webhooks.
I'm thinking of spinning Telegram or Discord to populate new threads posted on the forum.

What services are you using?
IFTTT, Make, Zapier, or any free self-hosted alternative?

Really need to get webhooks going on my site, no idea of how to start though.

Probably worth reading a guide like this https://zapier.com/blog/what-are-webhooks/

Note Zapier is quite expensive last time I used it, I'd compare prices between the other platforms.

I'll give it a read, appreciate the pointer!

Do you know if there is a plugin that does the heavy lifting for this for xenforo?

So it's the 3rd party website like Zapier or Make that does they heavy lifting. You just need to decide what webhooks you want to use to either send data in or out of your system when certain actions happen.

If you browse all the app integrations that each provider has, you might get ideas about what other services you already use that you might like to link to your XF install using the webhooks

I will probably be going for one of the following self-hosted projects:

• n8n
• ActivePieces
• Automitsch
• Huginn (this is more than just webhooks, and may be overly complicated but haven't used it yet)

Current plans are:

• ClickUp integration for bug and suggestions, as well as possibly tickets.
• Shopify integration for our merch so we can bring back our old reward system.
• A lot of custom plugin stuff.

I'm thinking of using webhooks with wordpress to publish threads and posts as articles and comments in wordpress. I haven't started on this yet, but I think I can do it.
