Can I send CI pipeline build status alerts to my Poke assistant?▼

Yes, you can send CI pipeline build status alerts to your Poke assistant. The script posts JSON payloads via HTTP POST to the inbound webhook, supporting build status updates and error notifications across automation pipelines.

What is needed to authenticate webhook alerts for automation scripts?▼

Authenticating webhook alerts for automation scripts requires a POKE_API_KEY. The script uses this key to authenticate HTTP POST requests sending JSON payloads to the inbound webhook, ensuring secure message delivery from your CLI workflows.

How does the webhook script handle API errors and network failures?▼
