Hey guys, this should be the final test of our webhooks for our new BYOND discord!

Confused? Good. You don't need to know how it works, but it works. Our webhooks should pick up posts to the BYOND announcements forum automatically and slap them into an RSS feed that updates hourly. Then, we've connected them to a service that detects new items in the RSS feed and broadcasts a message to the #news-and-updates channel in BYONDiscord.

I'm going to look into adding a few other hooks to announce new beta builds as well as patreon updates to encourage people to support BYOND.

What are you using for the webhook?

For discord integration with my game, I'm using:
https://github.com/ChaoticWeg/discord.sh

Using this makes things pretty straightforward and easy to format.
I'm generating an RSS feed from the forums using PolitePol and then rigging up that RSS feed to a webhook via IFTTT. It was pretty easy to work out once Kumo clued me into the names of these tools.
