Private server for Webhook

[scubanarc]

I just started using Macrodroid and I love it. The killer feature for me is the Webhook. I'm building a bit of infrastructure around it which makes me worried about the availability and logevity of the webhook server. I know that you've mentioned before that it runs on your server, so that might end up having some sort of rate limiting.

I'm a well-seasoned server guy, I run many linux servers already, and I'd like to run a private webhook server.

The apache end of things is easy. I'd have to somehow hit the Firebase servers to send the packet up, and I'm sure that there will be an API key and device ID involved.

Is this possible? If so, how do I go about it?

I'm assuming I can just send an FCM:

Firebase Cloud Messaging

Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) is a cross-platform messaging solution that lets you reliably send messages at no cost.

firebase.google.com

Probably to the device id that is shown when I create a Webhook. I guess I just need the details?

I played around with Firebase and created an app, but I don't think that I can send messages to your app. Any ideas?

There was a similar question a while ago, but i can't seem to find the right thread.. If i remember correctly the answer was that it was not possible..

Is it because he would have to give us the API key and he's not willing to?

Is there not a way for an app to send an FCM message to another app?

This is something that I'd really like to implement, I'm hoping to come up with something.

I'm sorry but i don't actually know how any of this works, i just thought i had read a similar question and i finally found the thread i had in mind;

Webhooks speed problem

I use webhooks extensively so Macrodroid "reads aloud" (text to speech) information from my home automation system, think "Garage door left open" or "Intruder by basement motion detector" or another use case; when I arm the alarm at night, set Android to silent/no vibrate until I actually wake...

I'm not sure if this helps you in any way, or maybe you had already found the same thread yourself..

Thanks, I had not found that thread. I posted there as well.
