Huginn

What is Huginn?

Huginn runs a set of agents that each do one job: watch a website for a change, poll an API, receive a webhook, parse an event, then hand it to another agent that sends an email or posts somewhere. Chaining them gives you monitoring and alerting workflows that would otherwise be a pile of cron jobs. It is aimed at people who want fine-grained control over what gets watched and what happens next.
