Vanilla Bean Slack Hooker

Well, I'm the dev so I'm giving it 5 stars, but I will keep trying to improve it.



Simple

Notify one or more Slack, Mattermost or other endpoints with configured webhooks for WordPress events. Notifications for plugin installs and updates,  …

This plugin provides a simple but powerful function for developers and site administrators. It automatically captures critical PHP errors (fatal errors, parse errors, etc.) that would otherwise take your site down silently.
Instead of having to check server logs, you receive an instant notification via a webhook to a service of your choice, like Slack or Discord. This allows for immediate action and faster debugging.
The setup is minimal: just add your webhook URL on the settings page, and the plugin takes care of the rest.

Wonderful Webhook Alerts

Get real-time notifications for PHP fatal errors sent to your webhook (Slack, Discord, etc.). Never miss a critical site issue again.
