This pattern is useful when a script needs to announce a start, finish, or failure state.

It is adapted from the source example at Examples/Example - 1.ps1.

When to use this pattern

• You need a lightweight webhook notification.
• The webhook URL is supplied by configuration or a secret store.
• The message can be plain text.

Example

Import-Module PSDiscord

$webhookUrl = Get-Content -LiteralPath "$PSScriptRoot\discord-webhook.txt" -Raw

Send-DiscordMessage `
    -WebHookUrl $webhookUrl `
    -Text 'Nightly checks started.' `
    -AvatarName 'Automation'

What this demonstrates

• sending a plain Discord message
• keeping the webhook URL outside the script
• setting a readable sender name
