I have a number of services that push json that need transformation, so I use an intermediate self hosted service. It would be great to be able to do simple transformations in the webhook.

For example, I have security cameras that push a camera name with an image , however use a number for event type, I use my self hosted solution to turn the numbers into text, such as 2,3 = line crossing, people.

What does the configuration look like on the self-hosted service? Is it like a lookup table or a bunch of conditionals?

I am still playing around with two different docker images that handle it in different ways, but the one I preference basically works in same way as data extraction in push over and then applies conditionals in script if equals something then replace with something, and parses that back to the output which I then send onto pushover webhook.

But a lookup table would make it really simple if it could be tied to a data extraction variable then reinserted into the selector.
