WebHook support

You can enable Webhook support in Overseerr to enable faster pending sensor updates.

In overseerr, navigate to Settings -> Notifications > Webhook

Check Enable Agent

for the Webhook URL use:

{{HA SERVER URL}}/api/webhook/{{OVERSEERR API KEY}}

http://homassist.local:8123/api/webhook/MTYwODIpppppppppppppppYzLTI0OqqqqqqqqqqqqzIwLeeeeeee==

Select only the boxes "Media Requested", "Media Approved"

• You will also want to have 'Enable Notifications for Auto-Approved Requests' checked in the global notifications area

• payload can be left as default

Authorization Header will most likley need to be left blank.

With webhooks enabled, you dont really need to poll overseerr anymore, so we suggest setting the scan_interval to a large value like 600 or more
