I want this to exist:
Trigger Filter Branch/Merge Transform Route
incoming web hook
$page =~/deploy/i
$to = [‘devel@’,ops@’]
$msg = fmt_to_aim($attrs) out_aim($to,$msg)
$uid == da39a3ee5e6b4b
$to = @all_sms;unset($to[$uid]);
$msg = fmt_to_sms($attrs)
out_sms($to,$msg)
$viewcount == 100 $to = $emails[$uid] $msg = “Wow you’re a power user”
out_email($to,$msg)
$op == ‘edit’ $to = [‘http://my.com/’,‘http://twittr.com/me’] $msg = $attrs out_hook($to,$msg);
= awesome but only polling (RSS)
