Custom webhooks

Axiom users can now use custom webhooks to connect Axiom monitors with their favorite external services.

With the (old) webhook notifier type, it has always been possible to send a POST request to a URL of your choosing whenever a linked monitor triggered. However, the payload of this request had a fixed structure, which required transformation before forwarding to the desired destination.

With custom webhooks, it's now possible to modify the JSON payload, as well as add additional headers for including in the request. Using the Go template syntax, you can conditionally structure the payload depending on the circumstances of the trigger event.

This means that you can easily connect to and authenticate with external services even when they do not have have a dedicated notifier type in Axiom.
