Usage

This function receives and validates a webhook from GitHub Sponsors using the node12 template from OpenFaaS.

Each message is verified using the crypto library and HMAC.

Messages that pass HMAC are then sent over to a secret webhook URL and appear in Discord

It is triggered by any event from GitHub Sponsors

There's a switch statement on each event, which sends send a "pretty" string such as Person X just sponsored you, or Person X cancelled their sponsorship including an appropriate emoticon for the action taken by the user.

Deployment

You can pick between self-hosted OpenFaaS or OpenFaaS Cloud.
