Feature Proposal: Action Object, Webhook

[utkonos]

This feature would be quite similar to the current "Notification" Action Object, but rather than sending an email notification, it would construct an HTTPS request using the same set of variables available in the email notification __ADMIN__, __SUBJECT__, __SENDER__, __RECEIVERS__, __TARGETS__, __RULE__, __RULE_INFO__, __VIRUS_INFO__, and __SPAM_INFO__ (and any others I have missed). Whenever this object is triggered during the rule processing of the mail filter, the constructed request would be sent via POST to a URL that is configurable in the Webhook Action object.

This would allow modern push notification of triggered events and integration into other systems and automation.

currently no one is working on it though - and for now I would not consider it a high priority.

That feature is different than what I am proposing. This feature here is just a simple 1:1 update of the Notfication Action Object so that the exact same component in PMG uses HTTPS POST to transmit information rather than sending an email. The new Object would be called Webhook or Push Notification. I don't mean to imply by update that the email notification would go away or be replace, btw.

sorry mistook the original report - if you like you can open an enhancement request over in bugzilla - then others who also wish to have this functionality can say so there - if there's enough interest we might implement it.
