Hi DeliciousBluewhale87
So basically no webhooks, the idea is that you have full API to query everything in the system and launch task based on any logic. You can check the slack monitoring example, it is basically doing that. Wdyt?

Is this some sort of polling ?
End of the day, we are just worried whether this will hog resources compared to a web-hook ? Any ideas

yes

No need to worry, it pulls every 30 sec, and this is negligible (as a comparison any task will at least send a write request every 30 sec, if not more)
Actually webhooks might be more taxing on the server, as you need to always have a webhook up (i.e. wasting a socket ...)
