Hello

I searched everywhere but I didn’t find anything so… here’s one thing I want to do :

I’m running a plex server with multiple people and we’re all on Slack. We all add new media in the Plex Library.

I would like to be able to receive a Slack notification when a new Media has been added.  
Something like : "New media added to the library : "

The current webhook system is designed so that every action from a set of actions “start media, play, pause, stop” etc sends a request to the webhook.

In my case I just want to trigger a webhook for this action in particular.

I’m not interested in beeing notified when my friend is playing a media, just when a new media has been added (or deleted).

Hope that will be doable some day 🙂

Cheers
