Hook vs Hookdeck ConsoleGitHub events, without refreshing the repo.
Add Hook as a webhook on a repository or an organisation. Pushes, pull requests, releases and workflow runs arrive as notifications labelled GitHub, with the full event to read.
- Recognised as GitHub, with the event type kept in the headers
- Topics keep repositories apart in the app and the web app
- Mute a noisy topic, or notify only from a priority up, without losing events
- 60 requests a minute per workspace covers busy repositories
Set it up in a minute. Three steps.
- Step 1
Copy your endpoint
Add a topic per repository, for example /github-api.
- Step 2
Add the webhook
In the repository, open Settings → Webhooks → Add webhook. Paste the URL, choose application/json and select the events.
- Step 3
Get the push
GitHub sends a ping first, then every selected event arrives as a notification.
https://gethook.app/workspace/{workspace_key}/github-apiReplace {workspace_key} with the key shown in the app. Fields like title and priority are explained in Publishing messages.
What people ask before they set it up.
Does Hook check the X-Hub-Signature-256 header?
No. It keeps the header with the request so you can see it, but it does not verify it.
Can I use it for GitHub Actions too?
Yes. A workflow step can call your endpoint with curl and set its own title and priority. See the CI notifications use case.

vs
ntfy alternative for iPhone
ntfy is an open-source pub/sub service: you publish a message to a topic and subscribed devices get it. Hook gives you an endpoint any service can call as it is, and shows the whole request as well as the notification.
Compare- vs
webhook.site alternative with push
webhook.site is a browser tool for inspecting requests sent to a disposable URL. Hook does the inspecting too, but on a permanent endpoint that notifies your iPhone, so you don't have to keep a tab open.
