Getting Started with Incoming Webhooks

This guide will walk through everything needed in order to build a FlexDeploy Project with a GitHub webhook.

Getting a GitHub message into FlexDeploy

The very first step before we can consider building a project is to simply get a Github message into FlexDeploy so we know what we are dealing with. For this to occur there are 4 things we need

  1. A FlexDeploy Webhook Provider for GitHub

  2. A FlexDeploy Webhook Function - this is what will ultimately build our Project

  3. A public endpoint for GitHub to send the message to.

  4. A GitHub Repository with Webhooks enabled.

Creating the GitHub Provider

Navigate to Administration → Incoming Webhooks

Click the Configuration button in the top right of the page, and then the button at the top right of the table to create a new Provider.
