Has anyone experimented with webhooks with zulip.
I'm wondering if it would be possible to hook into a stream (e.g. UK stream) and get messages sent to another service (Ryver). Skimming through the zulip API it seems possible (can't be two way as ryver is more limited but the discussion was to encourage use of zulip anyway) @Rik Smithies

Yes, this is definitely doable. There's an overview at https://zulipchat.com/api/integrations-overview -- and since Ryver supports Zapier integration, you might follow https://zulipchat.com/integrations/doc/zapier to see if you can get Zulip -> Zapier -> Ryver without having to write any code.

(If you do want to roll your own, it's pretty simple too. The best client libraries are in Python.)

We have 2 streams here that are bi-directional - #snomed and #Zulip

Not the same thing, but is it possible to get an email when a thread is updated? Not using zulip every day, I tend to miss mentions and late updates to threads, amongst all the volume.

Mentions should definitely email you. Go into Settings, Notifications, Private Messages... and make sure email is turned on. You can also set up keywords that will behave the same as an @mention. Unfortunately there's no way to subscribe to a particular thread and get emails when it's updated. (At least not that I've found...)

I was wondering about mentions, I think my need is similar to Riks. I think I'd want to be notified when a thread is updated and/or when a comment is made on a stream (e.g. UK stream).
I've also been thinking the best way of monitoring or filtering the implementation stream - I'm interested in content from UK + DSTU3 and tend to skim read international R4/5 content.

thanks @Lloyd McKenzie noticed I have settings for Alert words. Just set that up and see how it goes.
