Hi there,  
Has anybody tried to use webhooks to write their own email notification system?

This would probably be fairly simple to do. Hardest part (depending on the actual use case) would probably be event aggregation. E.g. If you change 5 fields on a `Shot` you’d get 5 webhook calls but you’d probably want one email change notification to go out. Also, you’d probably need to manage quite a few Webhook setups if you want to send a notifications based on a large number of various events as there isn’t a very robust wildcarding system in Webhooks currently.

As for anyone doing this. I don’t know. @rob?
