This function is hosted on OpenFaaS Cloud, see the commits page for the build logs. The dashboard is private, but contains runtime logs and metrics.

This function receives and validates a webhook from GitHub Sponsors using the node12 template from OpenFaaS.

Each message is verified using the crypto library and HMAC.

Messages that pass HMAC are then sent over to a secret webhook URL and appear in Discord

It is triggered by any event from GitHub Sponsors

There's a switch statement on each event, which sends send a "pretty" string such as Person X just sponsored you, or Person X cancelled their sponsorship including an appropriate emoticon for the action taken by the user.

You can pick between self-hosted OpenFaaS or OpenFaaS Cloud.

• Fork the repo

• Add OpenFaaS Cloud integration to your repo, the community cluster is free to use for hosting.

• Create a channel and add an incoming webhook integration on Slack

• Create the webhook on GitHub for your URL and enter a webhook secret

• Seal your own secrets, change alexellis for your own username.

export WEBHOOK=""
export SLACK=""

faas-cli cloud seal --name alexellis-sponsors \
 --literal webhook-secret=$WEBHOOK \
 --literal slack-url=$SLACK

• Fire a test event from your sponsors page

You can also host a simpler version of OpenFaaS and deploy the function there:

• OpenFaaS on Kubernetes

• OpenFaaS with containerd (faasd)
