We’d love to be able to get a webhook whenever a post requires approval. Right now, as I understand it, the webhook is only triggered when it’s approved. (If that’s not the intended behavior I can put together a bug report, but that seems to be what I’m observing). It looks like [FEATURE: webhook for flag events · discourse/discourse@a16b616 · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/a16b616861ec25f28f05bb18d48ed111e56a7b0f) added the ability to get webhooks for flag events (including creation), but unless I’m confused (always possible!) flagging != requires approval. The use case is that we have some words in our Watched Words list that trigger Require Approval. I’d like to add a Slack notification to our moderators for those cases. The discourse-chat-integration plugin doesn’t seem to have a trigger for this specific use case, which seems reasonable, and I’m happy to do the Slack-pinging part myself… I just need a webhook to trigger it from. It’s basically an extension of [Is there a webhook for flag raised or mod inbox++?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/is-there-a-webhook-for-flag-raised-or-mod-inbox/61331) to account for Requires Approval in addition to flagging. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/webhook-for-requires-moderation/85469)._
