Webhook Sound Alert System

This project is a Node.js application that listens for incoming webhook requests and plays a corresponding .wav sound file when a webhook is received. It is designed to be a simple and customizable alert system that can be integrated with various services that support webhooks.

Features

• Listens for webhook requests on multiple endpoints (/webhook, /webhook1, /webhook2, etc.).
• Plays a specific .wav file for each webhook endpoint.
• Logs incoming webhook data and playback status.
• Easy to set up and extend.

Prerequisites

• Node.js installed on your system.
• NPM (Node Package Manager) installed.
• .wav sound files placed in the project directory (e.g., success1.wav, error1.wav, etc.).

3. Configure Sound Files

Place your .wav sound files in the project directory. Ensure the filenames match the paths specified in the code (e.g., alert.wav, alert1.wav, etc.).

4. Run the Application

Usage

Once the application is running, you can send POST requests to the following endpoints to trigger sound alerts:

• /webhook → Plays success.wav/error.wav
• /webhook1 → Plays success1.wav/error1.wav
• /webhook2 → Plays success2.wav/error2.wav
• /webhook3 → Plays success3.wav/error3.wav
• /webhook4 → Plays success4.wav/error4.wav

Customization

• Add more webhook endpoints by duplicating the existing route handlers and updating the .wav file paths.
• Modify the port number in the index.js file if needed.
• Replace the .wav files with your own sound files.

---

Troubleshooting

• Ensure the .wav files are in the correct directory and have the correct filenames.
• Check the console logs for any errors related to file paths or playback issues.
• Make sure the application has the necessary permissions to access the sound files.
