But it would still be nice to have a webhook for chat messages, especially since `allowed_user_api_push_urls` is now a hidden setting. If you can’t use a plugin then right now all you can do is poll for notifications right now, which is pretty suboptimal.

Is there any way a plugin can add a webhook trigger option?  
Would a PR be accepted for this?
