URLs for webhooks should have the option of inserting placeholders in the url.
E.g. the push service Pushover uses a url like: https://api.pushover.net/1/messages.json?user=xxx&token=yyy&message=Website%20Down to send a push message to my phone.
I would like to specify the message, but the url would need placeholders which get replaced by updown.io.
E.g. like this: https://api.pushover.net/1/messages.json?user=xxx&token=yyy&message={{description}} to use the webhooks data entry description.

Thanks for this suggestion, this wouldn't work very well with the fact that webhooks could be sending multiple message at once (although it's not the case yet), but it's true that this would be a nice little hack to connect with Pushover directly, which has been requested a couple times already https://updown.canny.io/general/p/api-for-pushovernet-integration
Thanks for your response :)
I am using webhooks to notify a Zulip channel of outages. It would be nice if updown.io could customize the topic to indicate which check caused the alert, e.g.:
https://my.zulipchat.com/api/v1/external/updown?api_key=...&stream=...&topic={{check.url}}+is+down
Thanks for the use case Jeff, don't forget to vote for the suggestion too ^^ there's still the webhook bundling the prevents this for now but I may change this later
