Currently, I have followed this tutorial and set up Lambda, Github and my SNS for receiving responses from GitHub.
However, I am getting only the default webhook through this setting.
How do I customise it to work with one of the other non-default events here, like a pull-request (other than just push)?
In GitHub (https://github.com///settings/hooks/new) click on the radio button under Which events would you like to trigger this webhook? and select Send me everything.

Is it possible to customize the messages that github will send to the slack webhook? I was able to set it up to where I get notifications whenever an issue is created/deleted/edited, however I would like to only get notifications for specific issues with a certain label and also be able to change the format of the notification.
With this level of customization, you will likely need to write a bit of custom code that:
Receives and authenticates the Github webhook. This means you need to host the code someplace as a web service, for example in Heroku.
Filters down to only the events that matter to you with the custom criteria you listed above.
Formats a custom Slack message in markdown based on the payload of the Github event.
Posts that message to Slack - probably the simplest solution is to use the Slack incoming webhooks.
(Disclosure: I am the co-founder of Fusebit). Fusebit automates such integration scenarios and allows you to focus on the parts that matter to you, which in this case is the custom filtering and custom message formatting code.
I started using https://github.com/manosim/gitify and I miss one thing: I don't get notifications when status check of Pull Request passed or failed. What's the easiest way to set it up? We don't use for project Github Actions/Workflows stuff.
I have not used gitify. Based on what I read, I suspect that these notifications are still set at the GitHub settings level. Essentially if GitHub triggers a notification for your account/organization, that is captured from gitify. Take a look at the notification menu page: https://github.com/settings/notifications
You can adjust your GitHub Actions notifications. If that doesn't work, then I'm not sure.
I need to send an email to github and then it need to run github action with input
Is that possible?
Or i need to make a push to master via email
You cannot start a workflow directly from email, but you can use manual events
You can manually trigger a workflow run using the GitHub API and from GitHub. For more information, see "Manually running a workflow."
Here are all available events that can trigger a workflow.
There are examples for starting workflow from slack, so I suppose you can implement something triggered by mail (if you can add a listener that checks all new emails and if specific email is send to call the GitHub API)
I followed this tutorial to create a Webhook between Github and Discord.
https://support.discordapp.com/hc/en-us/articles/228383668
Everything worked as expected and the bot is updating the chat just fine.
Despite searching in the Docs
( https://discordapp.com/developers/docs/resources/webhook ), I
could not find how to configure the bot so it also displays the commit's description.
I don't really know if this is possible, can someone point me how to handle this?
The Discord GitHub webhook does display the first line of the commit which git typically treats as a summary.
The GitHub push webhook publishes a json document containing fields such as head, refs, and a commits array with fields such as message and author.
However, the default Discord webhook expects a simpler json document with just a content field for the message body. This webhook will reject a GitHub push document.
However Discord also provides a special GitHub webhook that understands the payload of the GitHub push webhook. You've set this up but as noted only displays the first line of the commit. There doesn't seem to be any way to customize it.
If you want to display the full commit message, you'll need a custom bot that can receive the GitHub push event, format a new json document in the form expected by the default Discord webhook, and send it to the Discord API.
There is already an app that does this. The developer has abandoned it in favor of the official Discord GitHub webhook but left it running for now. It's easy to integrate and it does display the full commit message. It does require a public GitHub repository however.
The webhooks guide lists email as one of the available services, however it seems that this only kicks off when a user actually pushes a change to the repository. How can you configure it so that an email is fired off for every event concerning that repo - issues opened/closed, pull requests, etc.?
You cannot, currently. See this pull request to the github-services which would enable at least pull request notification by email, but it was never merged by GitHub.
As a work-around I currently use IFTTT on my Android device to get notified about pull requests by email.
