[Feature Request] Allow discord webhooks aswell as slack

[ghost]

With discord being used just as much if not more than slack can you please allow webhooks to discord as well as slack because at the moment it's rejecting the input.

Discord already has the ability to accept the slack format by just putting /slack on the end of a discord webhook.

I like that idea. What would that enable? How does the interaction with discord look like?

[ghost]

It would be the same as slack. You can read more at https://discordapp.com/developers/docs/resources/webhook
Just that at the moment if I try to put another webhook url in other than one made by slack. it rejects the input.

EDIT: deleted my old comments as I just figured that I was totally wrong, i.e. didn't know about the existing slack integration

@Busterguy you could experiment by changing the pattern for the URL here:

pathfinder/public/templates/dialog/map.html

Line 126 in 357e7b8

<input name="slackWebHookURL" type="url" class="form-control" id="{{slackWebHookURLId}}" value="{{slackWebHookURL}}" placeholder="https://hooks.slack.com/services/XXX/YYY/ZZZ" data-type-error="No valid URL" pattern="^https://hooks.slack.com/.*" data-pattern-error="Wrong domain. https://hooks.slack.com/)">

The regex prevents you from trying out the discord URLs

Thanks. I’m not hosting my own at the moment.
But if I do later down the line il definitely try that.
This was mainly a suggestion for the master branch or whatever you call it.

Thanks for your suggestion. Ill think about that.
In the meantime you can use Slack as a "proxy" .... just use the existing Slack WebHook integration in a "Ghost" Slack channel (e.g. "private" or no users), just the Slack bot to pipe notifications from Pathfinder into Slack.
Then add an other Slack Integration (I´m sure there is a Discord Integration arround) and proxy all messages from that channel to your Discord.

A bit hakky but it should work ;)

I managed to make Pathfinder work with Discord's webhook using the link provided by @Busterguy

It involved just 2 small hacks, particularly in the frontend validation mentioned by @srmo and a change to the slackWebHookURL field in the in map table in the DB. Somehow that field was set to store a maximum of 128 characters of string, but apparently the added /slack webhook URL requires 129 chars in total.

However, I'd say that so far it works really well...

I am interested by an operating procedure to connect a PathFinder hosted by myself & a discord channel as service.

Anything new here ? It should be very easy to modify current Slack integration to be able use it for Discord. Now I need to hack into PF, because there are checks, which disallows to safe Discords webhook URL.
