Your hook, url to send notifications
To send a notification, all you have to do is make an http call to our service. You have the choice GET or POST, but we recommend POST to be able to inject extra data inside your notifications. You will find your pre-composed url in your dashboard, here it is:
Hook: https://hooknotifier.com/%_YOUR_IDENTIFIER_%/%_YOUR_KEY_%
Of course, if you call this url like this, our server will return an error because several parameters are mandatory.
The parameters
About the format

Premium feature : You can also add data inside the notification, everything that is passed in body during a POST request will be recorded inside the notification.
