Customization (Optional)

You can customize your webhook processor by changing the LISTENER setting in your settings.py

LISTENER = {
    "PROCESSOR": {
        "default": "listener.processor.DefaultProcessor",
        "github": "path.to.GithubProcessor",
        "shopify": "path.to.ShopifyProcessor",
    }   
    },
}

Your processor should be a function that takes in the following parameters:

• event: The event object

Your processor class must have a process method.

For example

class GithubProcessor:
    def process(self, event):
        # Do something with the event
        pass
