Learn how Zulip integrations work with this simple Hello World example!

This webhook is Zulip's official example integration.

1. The Hello World webhook will use the test stream, which is by default in the Zulip dev environment. If you are running Zulip in production, you should make sure that this stream exists.

2. Next, on your {{ settings_html|safe }}, create a Hello World bot. the URL for the Hello World bot using the API key and stream name:

   {{ api_url }}/v1/external/helloworld?api_key=abcdefgh&stream=test

3. To trigger a notification using this webhook, you can use send_webhook_fixture_message from a Zulip development environment:

   (zulip-py3-venv) vagrant@vagrant:/srv/zulip$
   ./manage.py send_webhook_fixture_message \
   > --fixture=zerver/tests/fixtures/helloworld/hello.json \
   > '--url=http://localhost:9991/api/v1/external/helloworld?api_key=<api_key>'
   

   Or, use curl:

   curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{ "featured_title":"Marilyn Monroe", "featured_url":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marilyn_Monroe" }' http://localhost:9991/api/v1/external/helloworld\?api_key\=<api_key>
