Doncheli Webhook

Don Cheli: Webhook & Automation

Instructions

1. Accept the desired webhook configuration: event, target URL, payload format, secret
2. Detect the platform (GitHub Actions, custom server, Zapier, etc.) from context
3. Generate the webhook configuration code/YAML for the detected platform
4. Validate the target URL is reachable if possible (HTTP HEAD check)
5. Generate a test payload that matches the event schema
6. Provide a curl command to manually test the webhook
7. Check for security best practices:

• HTTPS endpoint required (flag plain HTTP as a blocker)
• Webhook secret / HMAC signature validation
• Idempotency key handling for retries

1. Document the webhook in .dc/webhooks.md with: event, URL, owner, secret env var name
2. Never log or print the actual secret value — always reference the env var name
