I'm using Cachet and HC to automate my public-facing status page. HC's webhook integration allows you to POST data, but Cachet requires you to PUT data instead. Also it can only accept a numeric status (e.g. 1 = OK, 2 = Performance issues, 3 = Minor outage, 4 = Major outage) and not a string ("up" or "down")

To get around this I've modified Cachet to accept POST commands in place of PUT commands, and have set up an IF statement so that "up" = 1, and "down" = 4.

I'd love it if HC would support more HTTP verbs (e.g. PUT, PATCH, DELETE etc.), and if you could send separate data for up and down events, so for the up endpoint I could send {"status": 1}, and for the down endpoint send {"status": 4}
