Fire Webhook POSTs to easily build own integrations

Hey Chris, would you be open to a button on the task card that might allow us to trigger a notification to be sent to a URL we provide?
My use case is that I don't use zapier because of costs, and instead use activepieces (Open Source) for automations. I don't mind asking you for access to the developer API and I could just build my connection there, but even easier: a way to just fire a post notification to a URL I provide that catches the request with the response body of a newTask calendar from ellie.
I can see this being something useful for people who are still waiting for the todoist, notion, or other task management app integrations so we can build our own low/no-code flows for optimized workflow. Perhaps this can be a good holdover to allow you to continue to focus on your core goals within Ellie while your customers can focus on building the workflow that works best for us.
Here's a cool example of one from capacities which is like Notion/Obsidian, etc. Thanks!

this would be great, i just requested asana integration but with webhooks i could do it myself if needed
Chris
hey kirstie !
Could you elaborate more about what this would look like ideally? I saw your Asana post and it looks like you need something time related? :)

Wow this is actually such a cool idea, really like the way capacities has done this
Let me see what the lift would be here to add something like this, but I would probably do it similar to them where you can define a custom action button (probably one for now) and then it will add it to this more menu at the top right
btw Notion integration is coming in the next 1-2 weeks and now that this first one is done I think Todoist and a few others should follow soon :)
