Adding a Webhook Event
You can create as many webhook buttons as you want, but you can only specify one URL for each
button.
Examples of webhook events:
send the latest weather report to your device; trigger a payment; send an
alert when something happens; turn on a light; open a door; set a thermostat; operate a smart home
device
Note:
You can simplify programming webhooks by using ChatEditor, especially copying and pasting URLs
and entering data in JSON format.
