Feature Request: Implement Outgoing Webhooks

[therealstein]

Problem Statement

In our current setup, we lack the ability to integrate our task management system with external tools like Zapier, Notion, and n8n effectively. This limitation hampers our ability to automate workflows and synchronize data across platforms, which is critical for streamlining operations in our freelancer business.

❔ Possible Solution

Implement a webhook feature that triggers HTTP requests to a user-specified server whenever certain events occur within our application. Suggested events include:

• New Task
• Start Task
• Stop Task
• Task Finished
• Task Updated
• Task Deleted
  This feature would enable integration with third-party tools, enhancing our ability to automate workflows and maintain synchronization across different platforms.

⤴️ Describe alternatives you've considered

Alternative would be a plugin system, where users can wrote their own plugins to handle with business logic.

➕ Additional context

This feature would also require a robust handling mechanism for offline scenarios to ensure no data is lost when connectivity is restored. This could involve queuing events and batch sending them when the system goes back online.

Additionally, it would be beneficial to have more detailed time tracking capabilities, such as tracking time in minutes, which could provide more precise data for billing and analysis purposes.

Thank you very much for opening up this issue! I am currently a bit overwhelmed by the many requests that arrive each week, so please forgive me, if I fail to respond personally. I am still very likely to at least skim read your request and I'll probably try to fix all (real) bugs if possible and I will likely review every single PR being made (please, give me a heads up if you intent to do so) and I will try to work on popular requests (please upvote via thumbs up on the original issue) whenever possible, but trying to respond to every single issue over the last years has been kind of draining and I need to adjust my approach for this project to remain fun for me and to make any progress with actually coding new stuff. Thanks for your understanding!
