Provide a webhook provider for a hoptoad account.
Setup a user in Hoptoad which receives emails to a secret account. This email address should receive all the errors which you want announced.
After this, you will need to setup certain environment variables.
ENV key | Used for | Required

hoptoad_webhooks.imap.port | Connect to this IMAP port | No, defaults to 993

To use this on heroku, you can setup the configuration as follows:
heroku config:add config.email=hoptoad-alerts@example.org
Now you can push the code and you'll receive hooks sent to the URL you configured.
