The idea was born from our (Warren Lamb) need for a very simple way to be notified when a webhook was trigged. These webhooks might be from external resources (ex: GitHub commit, deployment, debugging, etc.) or from within our own applications (ex: a new sale).

Not only did we want a way to receive notifications when a webhook was received, but we needed a way to be alerted when a webhook had not been received — like a if a back up had not completed in the last three hours.

It morphed a bit through the development process, but the final outcome was HookFyi — a webhook notification system. Users can receive a text, email or Slack message when webhooks are received, go missing, or when a website appears to be unavailable.

So far the app has been quite useful in centralizing our different notification processes as well as bringing issues to our attention long before we would have discovered them on our own.
