Webhooks

Post messages under a custom name and avatar, from a webhook the bot creates or from a webhook URL alone.

A webhook posts messages into one channel under its own name and avatar, without being a member of the guild. This section covers getting hold of a webhook and posting through it. You're assumed to have a bot named "my-bot" logged in (see Starting a bot) and to know how sending messages works.

Webhooks and webhook clients

DiSky has two entities for this. A webhook is the Discord object itself: the bot created it or read it from a guild, so it carries a name, a channel, an owner, and can be renamed or deleted. A webhook client is anything that can post through a webhook, including a client built from a webhook URL alone. Every webhook is also a webhook client, so every posting effect accepts both.

A channel where the bot has Manage Webhooks	a `webhook` (create or retrieve it)	yes	yes
Only a webhook URL	a `webhookclient`	yes	no

Reading order

Webhook clients: creating a webhook, retrieving existing ones, building a client from a URL, and the webhook properties.
Posting through a webhook: the make ... post effect, the webhook message builder, editing and deleting what a webhook sent, threads.
