Moodle WebHook’s

GitHub Release Build Status Codacy Badge


The Webhooks feature allows applications to receive real-time notification of changes to certain data.

Using Webhooks, your application will be able to receive notifications of changes to selected topics and their fields. Because of this, you do not have to rely on continuous or even periodic requests to check for updates. Notifications about Webhooks updates are sent as POST requests to the callback URL you specified. Notifications can indicate the very fact of a field change or include a new value.

Features:

  • Use any number of services for notification;
  • Customizing each external service;
  • Interception of all events in the Moodle system;
  • Use a secret phrase to authenticate requests;
  • JSON - Format of outgoing data;

    Actually, I just noticed that another person as discovered this show stopper bug? Any hope for a quick fix? We have 17,000 students that will take quizzes in a few weeks, and was banking on this plugin to make it work. See reported issue here https://github.com/valentineus/moodle-webhooks/issues/11

    Hi all! The new plugin upgraded just fine now, and the events are being saved! The issue I have now, is the callback URL is never reached. Should the callback URL be encoded or decoded? Are there any instructions to help troubleshoot what I might be missing in my config to have the events triggering the callback?

    Every action of the plugin is written in a journal (Administration > Report > Log). You can see what the remote server answered on the logs page. If the response code is 200, then notifications are sent, problems upstream.

    I'm trying to get this to integrate to our slack (Which is only used by staff members) to notify staff that events have occurred such as submissions and forum posts. Can you suggest a way to get this working?

    I need it to read off as text in a Slack Message. (Ideally)

    Hi

    It is not possible to relate a course to a service, is it? The events of all courses will be sent to the other side? I am trying to use it with discord but each teacher has its own channel and its own course.

    Thank you.

    It looks like the latest version of this plugin is no longer triggering webhooks... I'm running Moodle 3.7.1 (supported by the plugin) but when updated webhooks are no longer sent. We restarted the entire Moodle server, and no luck.

    is it possible to add the tokens as headers rather than in the request body?

    Hi Valentin, what happens when sending a request with the hook has failed (server didn't respond or whatever)? Is there any retry mechanism in the plugin? Thanks!

    Hi Vitaly! All server's response results are written to the events log. The plugin does not provide for repetition.

    Hi,
    For the use case I have I would like to get more user information then only an ID. preferably an e-mail address and their first and last name. Is that possible in any way?
