Steps to receive Github Webhooks

  • Sign up for your free Hooky account.
  • Create a new Webhook Source, and select Github. This will be the endpoint that receives webhooks on behalf of your application, and forwards them using the unified SDK.
  • Step 1
  • Step 2
  • Once a webhook is received from Github, you'll see it under the Live Logs section of your webhook source.
  • Next, follow the examples below to integrate the Hooky SDK in ruby or javascript, and start receiving webhooks.
Save countless hours integrating Github webhooks into your application.

Integrating Github Webhooks Using Javascript

Integrating Github webhooks with Hooky in your Javascript based application is straight forward. Just grab the SDK, and call a function when that webhook is received.

Integrating Github Webhooks Using Ruby

Integrating Github webhooks with Hooky in your Ruby or Ruby on Rails application is straight forward. Just grab the SDK, and call a method when that webhook is received.
