## What it is
webhook is a lightweight Go-based tool that lets you create configurable HTTP endpoints (hooks) on your server to execute shell commands. It parses request headers, payloads, and query variables, applies rule-based matching, and passes data to commands via arguments or environment variables.

## Use cases
- run a redeploy script when GitHub pushes to master
- trigger shell commands from Slack or Mattermost outgoing webhooks
- set up HTTP endpoints that execute server-side scripts
- automate deployments from CI webhook events
- pass webhook payload data to scripts as environment variables
- build simple automation hooks without writing a full server

## When to choose
- you need a tiny, single-binary tool to trigger shell commands from incoming webhooks
- you want rule-based filtering of webhook requests before command execution
- you prefer a self-hosted, dependency-free alternative to full automation platforms

## When to avoid
- you need webhook queuing, replay, or monitoring features
- you want a full workflow engine or GUI for managing hooks
- you need to run complex logic beyond shell commands

## Facets
- artifact type: service
- maturity: stable
- function: webhook, http-server, workflow-automation, deployment, cli
- domain: web-development, self-hosted, developer-tools
- platform: windows, cross-platform, go, self-hosted
