Gossip: Trigger a webhook from an email (odysee.com)

TLDR

Create an email mapped to your webhook, the webhook will be called when an email will be received. It reacts instantly to emails. Check out the 1min demo in odysee

Long Story

I tried to share this previously in Reddit & HN but got 0 attention. I was hoping I could get some feedback here.

When I created this, I envisaged at least two use cases:

(main one for my workplace) Plug the generated email(s) into the monitoring system to create tickets in the project management software you are using when an alert is triggered
(for open source projects) Embed/Share the generated email with your users and have the email bug reports transformed into gitlab/gitea/github issues
(it could serve as a starting point for an open source business automation software)

This is in a very early stage, I am more than open to feature requests. I have have a bunch of improvements planned but would like to see if there's some interest first.

The project source is in gitea.v3m.net which is not public, I am open to creating a public mirror in your favorite public place (gitlab.com, github.com, ...).

I am also open to having the current instance serving right from your open source subdomain for those interested.

I don't understand what you're doing here. I use your website to what?

Monitor my email and when I get one that matches the regex it'll make an API call?

Or is your website the API endpoint?

The video didn't help me understand.

Thanks for having a look!

Monitor my email and when I get one that matches the regex it’ll make an API call?

It's this first one with a slight twist. It generates a random email for you rather than asking you to give your username & password (I don't want to handle securing people's usernames and emails at this stage). It makes an API call when the From Email matches the regex.

Example from demo:

URL: https://api.github.com/repos/idrissbellil/cryptomonitor/issues
Method: POST   (The HTTP Method: POST, GET, PUT, ..)
From Regex: .*  (only trigger the call given certain `From` emails so you it doesn't create a thousand tickets if somebody floods you with emails)
Payload: {"title":"{{ .Subject }}","body":"{{ .Body }}","assignees":["idrissbellil"]}  (the data part of the POST/PUT/even GET query - here you can re-use parts of the email you received like Subject, Body, To, From
Headers: {"Accept":"application/vnd.github+json","Authorization":"Bearer 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","X-GitHub-Api-Version":"2022-11-28"}

The last example will be equivalent to the following curl:

curl -L \
  -X POST \
  -H "Accept: application/vnd.github+json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer github_pat_xxxx" \
  -H "X-GitHub-Api-Version: 2022-11-28" \
  https://api.github.com/repos/idrissbellil/cryptomonitor/issues \
  -d '{"title":"Found a bug","body":"I'\''m having a problem with this.","assignees":["idrissbellil"]}'
