In their own words
Dispatch
Dispatch receives webhooks, processes events, and delivers them to Discord, Slack, Telegram, or custom HTTP endpoints. It verifies incoming requests before storage, applies filters, formats payloads, and routes events to linked destinations. Filters can use header or body fields, and JSONata expressions can transform event data before formatting. Templates support Discord embeds, Slack Block Kit, and Telegram HTML with platform-specific variants. Failed deliveries can be retried with configurable exponential backoff, up to seven attempts by default. Documented source integrations include GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Jira, Linear, OpenAI, Shopify, Stripe, and others; destinations also include Google Chat and Webex. Its CLI forwards webhook events through a secure tunnel to a local development server, with binaries for Linux, macOS, and Windows. Project-scoped API keys provide programmatic access. Dispatch says it encrypts destination URLs and tokens at rest and uses TLS 1.2 or higher for traffic. The cloud service has a free plan with 10,000 events per month and three days of history; paid plans start at $39/mo.
