Web hooks

Note: this feature is in development, and is not available in Azure

The web hooks feature is about being able to register a (callback) url(s) that will be called once a deployment has finished with the deployment information on whether the deployment was successful or not, the author, commit id and more.

With this feature we'll be able to hook a kudu site as a trigger in web services such as zapier.com which will allow a user to do a wide array of actions when a deployment is done, for example:

• Send an email when deployment is done
• Call when a deployment has failed
• Tweet when a deployment has succeeded
• And more...
