How to configure the command-line client to send webhooks

You can configure the Onlime command-line client to send simple webhooks.

This allows jottad to post messages when something important happens. jottad currently sends the following messages:

We have only implemented a couple of webhook messages initially, but we will add more eventually. We would love to hear your suggestions.

Webhooks are a simple way to post messages to external sources, like Slack, from jottad. They make use of normal HTTP requests with a JSON payload that includes the message text and some options.

jottad sends messages with rich formatting in Slack format.

To add a webhook URL to jottad , simply use the webhook add command:

jotta-cli webhook add [your url]

A message will be sent immediately that let you check if everything was received on the other end.

Status information from jottad will be sent every 6 hours by default. The status interval can be customized with the following command:

jotta-cli config set webhookstatusinterval [value]

[value] must conform to time duration as specified: E.g. 10m, 6h, 5h30m

See https://golang.org/pkg/time/#ParseDuration for more examples

To remove a webhook URL from jottad , simply use the webhook rem command:
​
​jotta-cli webhook rem [your url]

jottad will no longer post messages to the URL.
