Show HN: Webhooks That Email You Hey HN, I spent the long weekend on a small tool for sending myself emails via webhook. Yes, webhook-to-email in 2023 (somehow most things I could find are email-to-webhook or not quite easy to set up). Yep, I'm aware this problem is very much already solved(tm) in a bunch of ways: - Zapier exists - IFTTT exists - Slack webhooks exist (this one is probably what normal people would pick) - Native email integrations usually exist in whatever tool in the first place Somehow, I still find myself wanting a super easy way to get an email delivered to me when a webhook endpoint is hit (via POST or GET). Maybe I just run more early software than other people, or am far too comfortable `curl`ing from CI or other dodgy execution contexts... Knowing that an email with whatever data I want to attach is just one web request away makes it pretty easy for me. Also, this fits in well with software that has just the webhook part and not much other configurability. Anyway, the website is as simple as you think it is: 1. Put in your email 2. We validate your email and give you a URL 3. You GET or POST to that URL, and an email flies to your inbox If this sounds like something you want in your life, I encourage you to check it out! There's no login, only an email address is required (to do... the email sending). There's a free tier and a very low (but probably commensurate) price because I do indeed like money, but between you and me, the limits aren't really enforced (and probably won't be for quite a while, barring abuse). Don't ask what I used to build this -- it's embarrassingly over-engineered for what most people would do in an hour and call it a day (and achieve the same results). https://ift.tt/3z6dQH4 June 21, 2023 at 09:32PM
