Setup
- 1
Generate a Requex webhook URL
Open Requex.me and copy the URL.
- 2
Register the webhook in GitHub
Repo Settings → Webhooks → Add webhook. Paste the Requex URL. Content type: application/json. Set a Secret (any random string). Pick events: pushes, pull requests, issues.
- 3
Open the template
Workflows tab in Requex. The template loads with five nodes.
- 4
Configure verification
Click Webhook Verify. Paste the GitHub secret. The node validates the X-Hub-Signature-256 header using HMAC-SHA256.
- 5
Add your Discord webhook URL
In Discord: channel → Edit Channel → Integrations → Webhooks → New Webhook. Copy the URL. Paste it into the Discord node in Requex.
- 6
Test it
Push a commit. Within a second a formatted embed appears in your Discord channel with commit SHA, author, and message.
Why Requex for this
GitHub signs webhooks with HMAC-SHA256 over the raw body. If your tool reparses JSON before verifying, signatures fail. Requex preserves the raw body through the verify node and only parses after. Saves an hour of head-scratching.
