Hi! Thanks for the contrib!

Do you think we could instead do something like {{url|post=https://example.com}} so that we can keep the old functionality as well ?

[ethayu]

@nsarrazin about keeping the old functionality:
my changes don't remove any existing functionality - it just makes it such that if a new env variable ENABLE_ASSISTANTS_POST is set to true, any call to {{url=https://example.com}} will be a POST request instead of a GET request, with the user prompt sent as the message body.

could you approve the workflow again? I had to resolve some merge conflicts.

Yep, my point was that if we use a different keyword like url|post instead of setting it with an env variable then we can support both GET and POST in the same config 😄

Yes, that actually makes more sense. I’ll do that.

Hi @ethayu do you still want to take a look at this? Just curious no pressure 😄

@nsarrazin sorry, I've been a little swamped with school recently! I'll get to it around thanksgiving break, if nobody else has taken care of it by then
