Transaction web hook:

On succesfull insert/delete CSW transaction HTTP POST request is made on transactions_webhook_url set in manager section in configuration file. Request body contains json list of executed transaction description

[
    {
        "transaction": <transaction_type>,
        "id": <metadata_record_identifier>,
        "type": <metadata_record_type>
    },
    ...
]

If transaction_webhook_url is not set in configuration file webhook is skipped.

Feature is implemented as monkey patch of pycsw.core.repository.Repository.insert and pycsw.core.repository.Repository.delete methods.
