You're probably aware of this, but I thought I'd summarize my experience anyway. I just went through setting up an integration with zulipchat (compare #202) via a custom webhook. That involved a bit of tweaking things, which turned out to be quite painful because

integrations don't start out with a name / distinguishable in the listing
integrations can't be edited

From my outside perspective, the best fix for this would be to allow editing integrations with a form similar to the "create integration" form, and to include the integration name there.

Thanks for the feedback!

Allowing integrations to be edited definitely makes sense for webhook integrations. All is well when you know precisely what webhook parameters you want. But it's a PITA when you're experimenting and iterating.

Also agree on editing the integration name in the same form.

There's an issue on this already: #176, so I'll comment there and close this one.

@robx just a heads up – the following is now implemented:

you can now name a webhook integration right from the start, in the "Add Webhook" form
you can now edit existing webhook integrations

Sounds awesome, thank you! I'll be sure to test as soon as I need to set up another integration.
