  • idriss@lemm.eeOPtoOpen Source@lemmy.ml•Gossip: Trigger a webhook from an email

    I have never heard of ActivePieces. I took 30 min now to review it and play with it.

    From that alone, I can say:

    • you can definitely achieve what gossip does using ActivePieces (in other words, Gossip covers a small subset of what ActivityPieces does if you want to create your email manually and plug it into what they call an IMAP Piece)
    • Yep, Gossip is much lighter and reacts instantly thanks to golang concurrency constructs (it’s now running on a tiny VPS there are few jobs and it’s consuming 22MB of RAM, I will be able to keep it free and scale really really high without much struggle)
    • Gossip is geared more towards tech people (if you can put together a curl query to cover your needs than you can do almost anything you want - trigger a telegram msg, matrix chat, create a Jira ticket, …)
    • Gossip doesn’t handle any complex automations now, it simply connects an email it generates into a webhook you input (that seems to cover all the use cases I needed in my workplace)
