Problem Definition

When creating a webhook, it is possible to use certain variables in the URL. These are currently restricted to:

    ${board.id}
    ${issue.id}
    ${issue.key}
    ${mergedVersion.id}
    ${modifiedUser.key}
    ${modifiedUser.name}
    ${project.id}
    ${project.key}
    ${sprint.id}
    ${version.id}

 
Source: Webhooks

However it would also be useful if there could be a variable that indicated the event type, such as issue created, issue edited, issue deleted, etc. In turn it would be helpful in some cases if this could be accessed with a variable name such as

${webhook.event} 

Suggested Solution

Add

${webhook.event} 

as a valid variable.

Why this is important

Improves the ability to integrate with other systems and more easily identify/share specific event types with those systems.
