GitHub Events

GitHub webhook events are HTTP POST requests that GitHub sends to a URL you specify whenever activity happens in a repository or organization. Octoflow receives these requests, verifies the HMAC signature using your webhook secret, and routes the event to the correct Discord channel.

How events flow

GitHub repo activity
      ↓
GitHub sends POST to https://v2.gitlogs.xyz/kittycat?id=WEBHOOK_ID
      ↓
Octoflow API verifies signature
      ↓
Octoflow evaluates event modifiers (blacklists/whitelists/redirects)
      ↓
Discord channel receives formatted embed

Choosing which events to receive

When you register a webhook in GitHub, you choose which events to send:

• Send me everything — GitHub sends all event types. Octoflow will deliver everything unless you've set up event modifiers to filter specific types.
• Let me select individual events — GitHub only sends the types you tick. Use this for a minimal setup where you know exactly what you want.

We recommend Send me everything combined with event modifier blacklists for maximum flexibility — you can add or remove filters without touching GitHub settings.
